GRP profiles are increasingly used in the manufacturing of buses, thanks to the advantages that this material has over conventional materials, also complying with mechanical and fire resistance requirements.
Main features:
- Lightness: (Reduces fuel consumption)
- Shape Memory Material (Material resistant to bumps produced by knocks)
- The possibility of making complex geometries. (This advantage allows for the reduction of parts and facilitates its assembly)
- Corrosion resistant (property that increases the life cycle of the bus, reducing maintenance costs)
- Thermal, electrical and acoustic insulation (These properties improve the comfort and safety of both the passengers and the driver)
Applications to highlight for pultrusion GFRP profiles:
- Fairings (Longitudinal profiles used to cover the buses’ sides and roofs, these can be both interior and exterior)
- Luggage compartment trays, (These trays can incorporate ventilation or air conditioning ducts)
- Floors
Thanks to the services that Tecnipul provides, machining, polishing, painting and insert gluing, profiles can be delivered completely finished. All these processes are carried out by Tecnipul on-site, making easy our customer management.
