Now it's getting easier!
The innovative Borco Carbon chassis
The innovative Borco carbon chassis
With the new carbon chassis from Borco Höhns, we are revolutionizing the industry and making things easier for you – in the truest sense of the word. The Borco Höhns carbon chassis is a technological milestone that makes vehicles significantly lighter than conventional steel or lightweight constructions. This innovation keeps your vehicle below the magic 3.5-ton limit. And that brings you considerable advantages.

Toll-free and cost-efficient on the road
Thanks to the lower vehicle weight, you remain below the toll limit of 3.5 tons. For you, this means no toll charges and lower operating costs. Less weight also means lower fuel consumption and less wear and tear. Components such as brake discs and pads need to be replaced less often. This saves you money on taxes, fuel consumption, and maintenance costs.
More payload, more revenue
The carbon chassis allows you to carry 100 kg* more payload every day without exceeding the vehicle’s total weight. That means you can transport more goods and generate more revenue.
*Depending on equipment and model, up to 185 kg more than conventional commercial vehicles.
Easy handling and flexible use
Due to its lower total weight, the vehicle can be driven with a standard Class B driver’s license. This makes it much easier to find sales staff. In addition, there is no Sunday driving ban, and you can also drive in areas with weight-related access restrictions.
Lightness and flexibility
The lighter chassis and the elimination of the wheel arch on the second axle not only give you more storage space. You can also integrate additional accessories such as air conditioning, cooling compartments, or heating, and you benefit from easier handling at markets or in narrow city centers.

Payloads and new length options for the BORCO HÖHNS carbon chassis for vehicles up to 3.5 tons.
Thanks to BORCO HÖHNS carbon chassis, there are significant weight savings for increased payload.
By using carbon, we can offer the two length variants 5.00 meters and even 5.50 meters as standard up to 3.5 tons and with a high payload.
Model length
Carbon chassis: Additional load capacity compared to conventional steel frames
3,60m
New: Now with up to 55 kg more payload!
4,00m
New: Now with up to 85 kg more payload!
4,50m
New: Now with up to 115 kg more payload!
5,00m
New: Now with up to 185 kg more payload!
5,50m
Steel frame models of this length could not previously be offered at less than 3.5 tons.
Discover the future with carbon fiber composites
The carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP) used in our new carbon chassis combine the advantages of carbon fibers with high-quality matrix materials such as epoxy or polyester resin. With weight savings of over 50% compared to steel and 30% compared to aluminum, our FRP profiles offer remarkable strength at low density. Our FRP is manufactured using an environmentally friendly production process and is ideal for corrosive environments. Thanks to its long service life, it is largely maintenance-free, saving time and money.

Frequently asked questions about carbon chassis
A carbon chassis still has advantages, even if you don’t need a higher payload. For example:
- Class B driver’s license: You can continue to drive the vehicle with a normal Class B driver’s license, as it remains below the 3.5-ton limit.
- Toll-free: Vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons are exempt from tolls.
- More equipment options: You have more scope for additional equipment such as air conditioning or heating, which are beneficial for your employees in the vehicle and reduce sick leave (no heatstroke in summer, no freezing in winter).
Carbon is a fiber composite material created by processing two main components: carbon fibers (also known as carbon fiber) and matrix material (e.g., epoxy or polyester resin). It is torsion-resistant, has a unique appearance, and is manufactured with machine precision.
There is extensive experience with carbon. The material has been used for decades in critical industries such as aviation, yacht building, and racing. Here it demonstrates its long-term durability and reliability.
Yes, carbon is just as durable and resilient as steel, only much lighter. As a so-called fiber-reinforced plastic profile (FRP profile), it has high strength at low density. FRP profiles have a long service life and durability. During operation, they are largely maintenance-free even under the most demanding conditions. Furthermore, carbon does not rust.
Yes, because the FRP profiles for our BORCO carbon chassis are manufactured using an optimized production process with minimal environmental impact.
