Plastic components for BOS vehicles (ambulance, police & fire department)

Plastic components for emergency and rescue vehicles are an important area of expertise for swissplast. Ambulances, police units and fire engines place the highest demands on safety, durability, hygiene and resilience. Thermoformed plastic parts offer the ideal combination of robustness, low weight and flexible moldability.

 

We manufacture customized interior and exterior components for BOS vehicles – including cladding, functional covers, modular fittings and robust surfaces for intensive daily use. Swissplast stands for precise manufacturing, durable materials and reliable quality in rescue and emergency services.

What are the advantages of plastic parts for BOS vehicles?

Special and functional plastic parts in the BOS sector

Plastic solutions are indispensable in the field of BOS vehicles: interior trim, medical modules, containers, consoles, covers and function-integrated molded parts must be lightweight, hygienic, impact-resistant and chemical-resistant. Swissplast produces plastic components that meet these requirements and at the same time enable a modern, functional interior design.

Our components for ambulances, police cars and fire engines are specially designed to withstand high loads while maintaining a low weight – a decisive advantage for energy-efficient and agile emergency vehicles. In addition, our thermoforming processes enable complex shapes and integrated functions that are indispensable in medical and tactical applications.

In addition, swissplast focuses on sustainable and efficient production: the use of high-quality materials, precise production technologies and strict quality standards results in durable plastic parts that can be used reliably and economically.

Plastic components for ambulances, police and fire departments

Swissplast manufactures plastic parts for all common BOS vehicle types. These include ambulances, emergency vehicles, fire engines, command vehicles and police patrol and special vehicles. Our molded parts are used as interior trim, equipment compartment components, covers, holders, drawers, storage and filing elements or functional operating elements.

The parts are lightweight, impact-resistant, UV-resistant and easy to clean. Resistance to cleaning agents and disinfectants is essential in the emergency services in particular – our thermoplastic materials reliably meet these requirements. At the same time, color accents, textured surfaces or special functional coatings (e.g. anti-scratch, matt finishes) can be easily integrated.

Interesting facts about deep-drawn parts for BOS vehicles

Plastic components for BOS vehicles must be able to withstand extreme requirements and be economical at the same time. The low weight of thermoformed plastic parts reduces the load on the vehicle as a whole, which has a positive effect on energy efficiency, payload and driving dynamics. At the same time, our components offer high impact resistance, dimensional stability and a long service life, even when used intensively in rescue and emergency services. The deep-drawing process enables cost-efficient production with consistently high quality, even for medium series.
Plastic parts are used in almost all functional areas in BOS vehicles. These include interior trim, equipment compartment and luggage compartment superstructures, medical modules, consoles, covers and storage and organization systems. Customized plastic solutions that can be precisely adapted to the vehicle type, purpose and ergonomic requirements are particularly in demand in ambulances, fire engines and police vehicles. Swissplast manufactures components that are functional, durable and visually appealing.

Quick cleaning and easy maintenance are crucial in the BOS sector. Our plastic components are easy to clean, resistant to chemicals and resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants. Smooth or textured surfaces can be cleaned hygienically and contribute to compliance with strict hygiene standards – especially in the medical sector. At the same time, durable materials and robust designs reduce maintenance costs and extend the life cycles of the vehicles.

Safety is a top priority for emergency and rescue vehicles. Thanks to their impact-resistant design, rounded geometries and precise integration, plastic parts from swissplast contribute to a safe working environment in the vehicle. Panelling, modules and covers are designed to hold reliably even during abrupt driving manoeuvres or emergency braking and minimize the risk of injury. At the same time, ergonomically designed components support efficient work processes during use.

The thermoforming process allows several functions to be integrated into a single component. Brackets, reinforcements, fixing points or cable ducts can be integrated directly into the plastic component. This reduces the number of individual components, shortens assembly times and minimizes sources of error. For manufacturers of BOS vehicles, this means lower production costs, greater process reliability and more efficient series production.

Swissplast supports manufacturers and fitters of BOS vehicles from development to series production. With comprehensive material expertise, many years of experience in thermoforming and flexible manufacturing processes, we create customized plastic solutions for demanding applications. Our customers benefit from reliable quality, technical advice and partnership-based cooperation, even for complex and individual requirements.

Whether ambulances, emergency vehicles, fire engines or special police vehicles – swissplast develops plastic components for a wide variety of vehicle types and operational scenarios. Our solutions can be individually adapted to vehicle geometries, technical specifications and functional requirements. This results in precisely fitting components that are optimally adapted to the respective application.

Thermoformed plastic parts combine low weight, high stability, hygiene, design freedom and cost-effectiveness. For BOS vehicles, this means reliable components that can withstand the daily stresses of use and at the same time contribute to the efficiency and durability of the vehicles. Swissplast combines these advantages with precise manufacturing and sustainable production processes – for modern, high-performance emergency vehicles.
