Windscreen for trucks

What is a truck windshield?

The windshield of a truck is the glass panel at the front of the cab that provides protection against wind, rain, dust, and other weather conditions. It ensures clear visibility for the driver and contributes to safety and comfort while driving.

How does a truck windshield work?

A windshield is often made of laminated safety glass that is resistant to shocks and cracking. Modern windshields may include additional features such as UV protection, heating elements, rain sensors, and mounts for camera or sensor modules for driver assistance.

Common windshield components.

• Complete windshield.
• Mounting rubbers and seals.
• Mounting clips and brackets.
• Heating elements.
• Rain sensors.
• Camera or sensor modules.
• Support frames or brackets.
• Mounting screws.
