PIEK and Quiet Truck

Christiaan Tollenaar: "M+P has been working on various aspects of vehicle noise for many years now. Part of these activities involves the performance and analyses of PEAK noise readings".

Noise nuisance during supply activities

Shops usually receive their stock in the evening and at night. This can lead to noise nuisance for local residents. Noise requirements are increasingly being imposed on distribution to limit this.

Silent distribution vehicles can be recognised by a quality mark. In order to qualify for this quality mark, not only do the wheeled containers and hand trucks need to be quiet, requirements for the distribution vehicles have also been imposed.

We are THE partner for PIEK noise measurements

We have decades of experience with acoustic research in the automotive industry. Part of this is the performance and analysis of PIEK noise measurements on vehicles. In addition, we participate in the development of the measurement methods.

The testing of vehicle noise is carried out in accordance with the protocol: “Measuring methods for peak noises during loading and unloading”. For example, measurements are performed on products, installations or vehicles under different usage conditions such as cooling, loading and unloading, acceleration, braking and driving. We have the ability to carry out measurements on, among other things:

Trucks
Transport cooling
Vehicle body parts
Logistics equipment

What can we do for you?

We focus on solutions for quieter vehicles that are immediately applicable, and we have built up a wealth of knowledge about the acoustic behaviour and sound emission of vehicles. This enables us to provide specific advice on the development of silent distribution vehicles. Detailed acoustic research into vehicle noise is also possible.
