The hood of this military truck is manufactured via Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) using a thermoformed continuous strand mat preform for the reinforcement package. This is the truck that hauls the bullets, beans, and boots for the U.S. Marines. Durability, strength, and corrosion resistance were key decision factors in choosing composite materials for this hood.
