Low Vibration
Low Vibration, Low Noise BodyDescription
An effective application of vibration damping and noise supressant materials reduces engine and road noise.
Sound Absorbing and Vibration Damping Materials
^ In conjunction with the use of a asphalt sheet which decreases the noise level, asphalt sheet is applied to most of the floor area to reduce engine and road noise during vehicle operation.
^ Foamed material is provided inside the piller; rockers and doors. As a result, the wind noise and road noise that are transmitted to the rockers and the pillers have been reduced.
^ To reduce wind noise, the shape of the mouldings has been optimized, and a deflector has been provided below the front bumper to ensure a smooth airflow.
Weatherstrip
The location and the cross section of the weatherstrips have been optimized to ensure a high level of sealing performance and sound insulation.
Cab Mounting
The spring properties of the rubber cushion of each of the body mounts have been optimized in order to improve the vehicle's riding comfort and to reduce noise and vibration.
