Plastic components for busses
swissplast also contributes high-quality plastic components to the bus transport sector. These are used in various types of buses and offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional bus components. From city bus to long-distance bus, from gasoline-powered to electric bus, from minibus to double-decker – swissplast is your contact for high-quality plastic moulded parts in bus transport.
Plastic components in bus interiors
Various deep drawing parts from swissplast are used in bus transport. Our plastic components for bus transport can be used in various roles and especially as interior trim: In the area of linings for the interior, for example, we manufacture dashboards, instrument panels or cockpit covers for the driver’s cab. In the passenger area, swissplast produces linings for seats, seating groups, seats, backrests or interior ceilings. For on-board catering, too, our panelling parts for kitchens or on-board galleys ensure an appealing aesthetic inside the bus. We attach great importance to high-quality components with the desired look, acoustics or feel for individual applications. A combination of plastic and laminated surfaces in TPE, TPU, fabric, leather or imitation leather is also no problem for us.
Plastic components for the exterior
At swissplast we produce high-quality plastic components not only for the interior, but also for the exterior of buses. These include, for example, rear light carriers, wheel covers and wheel trims. We can also manufacture roof hatches, roof cladding or cladding for air conditioning systems. Particularly in the case of exterior plastic components, we work with materials that have a particularly long service life. This is due to the UV and weather resistance as well as the chemical resistance of our components. This means that repairs due to wear and tear are rarely necessary, which in turn increases the economic efficiency of the buses.
Plastic components for electric buses
Following our company philosophy of acting sustainably, we are happy to produce plastic components for buses in the segment of electric mobility and alternative drives. On the one hand, these can be the classic electric trolley buses, battery buses, accumulator buses, but also hydrogen buses, fuel cell buses or hybrid buses belong to this category. What they all have in common is that they do not have a conventional combustion engine and therefore emit fewer pollutants. Here, the use of plastic components is particularly worthwhile because, on the one hand, it reduces the overall mass of the vehicle and thus makes the electric motor more effective, and because, on the other hand, it contributes to the concept of environmental protection and sustainability.
Plastic components for bus transport – the advantages
In today’s world, buses are an elementary part of inner- and inter-city traffic. A few factors are decisive for the success of bus transport: time and safety. Passengers want a speedy and safe journey to their destination. At the same time, the companies operating the bus lines are keen to design efficient and economical operations in order to remain competitive. Our plastic parts for buses cover all these requirements, because the components are inexpensive to manufacture, but at the same time enormously stable and reliable. This minimises the need for maintenance and keeps buses in operation longer. Likewise, our plastic components for buses increase safety in the vehicles because they are flame-retardant and can withstand the high temperatures of a fire for a long time in an emergency.
Plastic components for local short-distance buses
In the field of short-distance buses, we manufacture parts for the following bus models, among others:
Regular service buses / ring buses
Low-floor buses / low-entry buses
City buses
Regional buses
Minibuses / Midibuses
Double-decker buses
Articulated / double-articulated buses
Bus trailers / bus trains
Express buses
Disabled buses
School buses
Plastic components for long-distance buses
In addition to buses designed for short journeys within cities, we also produce plastic components for buses that normally travel longer distances. These include for example:
Coaches
Long-distance buses
Intercity buses
Club buses
Comfort buses
Luxury buses
Bistro buses
Tourist buses
Tour buses
Plastic components for bus transport
In the field of public transport, swissplast is your reliable partner for the production of plastic components in bus transport. We supply you with important interior components such as panelling, cladding, seats, backrests, roof hatches, wall panelling or roof cladding according to your requirements. In addition to the aesthetics of the components for buses, safety has the highest priority for us in the passenger compartment. Our parts have a high impact resistance and are flame retardant. This is how our plastic components for buses protect passengers. We also contribute components for the driver’s cab: In addition to bus trim, parts are used for the instrument panel, cockpit and dashboard. Furthermore, the plastic components for buses are also installed in the onboard kitchen, where they perform the balancing act between visual appeal and practical functionality. In addition to interior components, swissplast also produces exterior components for buses. These include, for example, rear light carriers, wheel covers, wheel trims and wheel housings.
Plastic parts for buses
Due to our innovative work processes, we are very flexible with regard to the respective bus model. In the field of local bus operation, for example, we manufacture plastic parts for city buses, regional buses, solo buses, articulated buses, double-articulated buses, double-decker buses, bus trailers, bus trains, low-entry buses, low-floor buses, buses for the disabled, school buses, express buses, airport buses, shuttle buses or nightliners. Plastic parts for buses are also suitable for long-distance transport: We build parts for coaches, long-distance buses, long-distance buses, club buses, minibuses, comfort buses, luxury buses, bistro buses, tourist buses or tour buses. Regardless of the model, our plastic parts for buses are versatile and can be modified according to your ideas. So you get the pre-finished plastic components and can install them directly in your bus.
Plastic moulded parts for e-buses
In the bus market, the importance of electrically powered buses is growing continuously. The trend is moving away from buses with internal combustion engines towards renewable energies such as electric buses, hydrogen buses or hybrid buses. These are then often used as battery buses or as trolley buses. Plastic moulded parts for e-buses are an asset from several perspectives: the low weight of moulded parts for buses makes them ideal for lightweight construction. This in turn reduces the overall mass of the bus and thus also the energy requirement. In addition, our plastic moulded parts for buses are extremely durable. On the one hand, this means that the bus requires less maintenance during operation and can spend more time on the road. On the other hand, waste can be avoided in this way, which in turn protects the environment.
