LINKTANK PROJECT

LINKTANK Project

Innovation in the structural design of semi-trailers through the integration of the tank as a load-bearing element, optimising weight, load capacity and efficiency.

The LINKTANK project aims to develop an innovative concept for a self-supporting tank for industrial transport, reducing structural weight and increasing load capacity without compromising safety or operational performance.

Scope: Industrial transport
Duration: 2024–2026
Location: Spain
Reference: CDTI-IDI-20240594

Through design, simulation and experimental validation, LINKTANK promotes a more efficient, safe and sustainable solution for the transport of liquids in tanker semi-trailers.

Main areas of innovation:

•  Reduction in structural weight
• Increased energy efficiency
• Optimisation of structural design
• Increased load capacity

The project involves the development of a finite element model, the manufacture of a physical prototype and experimental validation using gauges to measure its performance under real operating conditions.
