Busan Jugong Starts Mass Production of Hydrogen Truck Parts... Expanding Supply of Large Truck Components

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Busan Jugong announced on the 29th that it has started mass production of brake parts used in hydrogen trucks.

Busan Jugong supplies brake items to hydrogen truck models of completed vehicle manufacturers. The brake mounting parts are key components responsible for braking within the vehicle, and since durability is important, they are manufactured by casting.

Busan Jugong is a leading company representing the domestic casting industry. It produces automotive parts such as piston crankshafts, steering knuckles, and oil pump housings, supplying parts to domestic and overseas completed vehicle manufacturers and parts companies.

It supplies parts to major overseas truck manufacturers such as Volvo Trucks, Scania, and Renault Trucks. Volvo Trucks and Scania rank first and second respectively in imported commercial vehicles in Korea.

A company official explained, "For large trucks with high load capacity, durability and safety are more important than weight reduction," adding, "Cast parts are also used in hydrogen trucks." He continued, "Commercial vehicles powered by secondary batteries or hydrogen batteries also require cast parts."
