Aluminium and stainless steel are widely used because they offer a strong balance of weight, durability and corrosion resistance. Aluminium, in grades like 5083 and 6082, is used for body panels, floors, side walls and structural tubing to reduce weight and increase payload. Stainless steel, including 304, 316, 321 and 4003, is used where vehicles operate in refrigerated, food-grade or corrosive conditions, offering the durability and hygiene needed for toolboxes, cladding and protective panels. Mild and carbon steel, in grades S235, S275 and S355, are also used for chassis, bearers and underbody structures where strength and value matter most.
