Plastic parts for bus transport
swissplast also contributes high-quality plastic components to the bus transportation sector. These are used in various types of bus and offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional bus components. From city buses to long-distance coaches, from gasoline-powered to electric buses, from minibuses to double-deckers – swissplast is your contact for high-quality molded plastic parts for bus transportation.
Plastic components in the interior of buses
Various deep-drawn parts from swissplast are used in bus transportation. Our plastic components for bus transportation can be used in various roles and especially as interior trim: In the area of interior trim, for example, we manufacture dashboards, instrument panels and cockpit covers for the driver’s cab. In the passenger area, swissplast produces coverings for seats, seating groups, seats, backrests and interior ceilings. Our cladding parts for kitchens or galleys also ensure an appealing look inside the bus for on-board catering. We attach great importance to high-quality components with the desired look, acoustics or feel for individual applications. Even a combination of plastic and laminated surfaces in TPE, TPU, fabric, leather or artificial leather is no problem for us.
Plastic components for outdoor use
At swissplast, we produce high-quality plastic parts not only for the interior, but also for the exterior of buses. These include rear light carriers, wheel covers, wheel covers and wheel trims. We can also manufacture roof hatches, roof cladding or cladding for air conditioning systems. We work with materials that have a particularly long service life, especially for exterior plastic components. 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
In line with our company philosophy of acting sustainably, we are also happy to produce plastic components for buses in the electromobility and alternative drive segments. On the one hand, these can be classic electric trolleybuses or trolleybuses, battery buses, battery-powered buses, but hydrogen buses, fuel cell buses or hybrid buses also fall into this category. What they all have in common is that they do not have a conventional combustion engine and therefore emit fewer pollutants. The use of plastic components is particularly worthwhile here, as on the one hand it reduces the overall mass of the vehicle and thus allows the electric motor to come into its own, and on the other hand it contributes to the concept of environmental protection and sustainability.
Plastic components for bus transportation – the advantages
Today, buses are an elementary component of inner-city and inter-city transportation. A few factors are crucial for the success of bus transportation: time and safety. Passengers want a fast and safe journey to their destination. At the same time, the companies operating the bus routes are keen to design efficient and cost-effective processes in order to remain competitive. Our plastic parts for buses meet all these requirements, because the components are inexpensive to manufacture, yet extremely stable and reliable. This minimizes the need for maintenance work and keeps the buses in operation for longer. Our plastic components for buses also increase safety in vehicles, as 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
We manufacture parts for the following bus models in the short-haul bus sector:
Scheduled 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 parts for long-distance buses
In addition to buses that are designed for short journeys within cities, we also produce plastic components for buses that normally cover 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 transportation
In the public transport sector, swissplast is your reliable partner for the manufacture of plastic components for bus transportation. We supply you with important interior components such as paneling, cladding, seats, backrests, roof hatches, wall cladding or roof coverings according to your wishes. In addition to the aesthetics of the components for buses, safety is also a top 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 supply components for the driver’s cab: In addition to bus cladding, we use parts for the dashboard, cockpit and dashboard. Furthermore, the plastic components for buses are also installed in the galley, where they perform a 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, wheel covers and wheel arches.
Plastic parts for buses
Thanks to our innovative work processes, we are very flexible when it comes to the respective bus model. In the field of local bus operations, 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, disabled buses, school buses, express buses, airport buses, shuttle buses and nightliners. Plastic parts for buses are also suitable for long-distance transportation: We make parts for coaches, long-distance buses, long-distance buses, club buses, minibuses, comfort buses, luxury buses, bistro buses, tourist buses and tour buses. Regardless of the model, our plastic parts for buses are versatile and can be modified to suit your requirements. This means you receive the ready-to-install plastic components and can install them directly in your bus.
Molded plastic parts for e-buses
Electric buses are becoming increasingly important on the bus market. The trend is moving away from buses with combustion engines and towards renewable energies such as electric buses, hydrogen buses and hybrid buses. These are then often used as battery buses or trolleybuses. Plastic molded parts for electric buses are a benefit from several perspectives: the low weight of the molded parts for buses makes them ideal for lightweight construction. This in turn reduces the overall mass of the bus and therefore also the energy requirement. Our plastic molded parts for buses are also extremely durable. On the one hand, this means that the bus requires less maintenance during operation and more time can be spent on the road. On the other hand, waste can be avoided in this way, which in turn protects the environment.
