External Casing Components For Busses
External casing components for urban buses and longdistance coaches
Description
External casing components for urban buses and longdistance coaches For many years, we have been developing casing components for the exterior of buses and railway vehicles here at TC. One advantage of GRP profiles is that we can produce different component lengths based on just one tool. This increases flexibility in design. The components are based on a profile made of glass fibrereinforced plastic, which we process in our CNCcontrolled milling machines to produce precisioncut parts for e.g. wheel arches, indicators and maintenance covers. We can also install reinforcements or addon parts at the same time if required.

The ICE 4, which was jointly developed by Siemens and Bombardier, is fitted with GRP door supports from TC. The door supports are installed immediately above the sliding doors. The 14 different types of door support are based on a GRP pultruded profile. The door support is a highly complex component which TC has once again been about to demonstrate its performance as a systems supplier. It consists of different aluminium profiles, brackets for the power supply and emergency brake, and infrared sensors. In addition, many door supports are fitted with a lockable flap and toilet ‘occupied’ displays. All of the adhesive bonds on the door support meet the requirements of DIN 6701. The entire door support is painted in two colours.

The side walls of urban and overland buses are put under major strain by the daytoday demands placed on them stone chipping, scratches and minor and major accidents quickly cause damage to the thinwalled metal sheets found in older models. What's more, in some cases the effects of weather and chemicals such as deicing salts and cleaning products can lead to unsightly signs of corrosion, which can damage the image of the bus company among its customers. This makes repairs and touchups necessary. As noncorrosive plating is not always available for older vehicles, TC manufactures side walls made of glass fibrereinforced plastic that are suitable for all such models and makes, and provide an optimal and durable alternative to older metallic plating.
