WHITEPAPER

The growing role of composites in the bus and coach industry

This whitepaper addresses many of the current material challenges faced by transportation vehicle manufacturing companies. Soaring urban populations have placed higher demands on public transport infrastructure while environmental pressures have prompted engineers and manufacturers to look for electric vehicle (EV) solutions. The materials used in vehicles need to accommodate for battery weight and combat corrosion while improving structural integrity, lowering emissions and more. 

Composite materials are well-suited to meet the challenges of this new generation of buses and coaches. In addition to being light weight, having excellent corrosion resistance and thermal insulating properties, pultrusion enables making wider, longer and more complex profiles at high volume and repeatable quality.
