Advantages of stainless steel for the transport industry
- Superior high strength material
- Lighter structures – up to 500 kg off the bus body weight
- Maintenance-free, low life cycle costs
- Price stability over time due to the low nickel content
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Tailored products reduce material waste
- 100 % recyclable, low environmental impact, smaller CO2 footprint
- Ready-to-assemble component kits
- Flexible stocking and delivery options
How to optimize a bus body?
There are many ways of optimizing the bus body and here are some examples on how exactly:
1. Using the existing design but reducing the thickness and cross-section of the tubes with high-strength stainless steel.
2. Adjusting the position of the tubes. This not only provides the advantage of weight reduction but also creates many possibilities in terms of design.
3. For a fully-optimized structure, designers can use our high-strength stainless steel to reduce the number of tubes in different regions.
Right material choice is the key factor
Designing the optimal bus body structure is like designing a puzzle; finding the right materials for the right places is essential. But do not worry, our team of experts is here to help you solve the puzzle. Stalatube offers a wide range of material options and our experts are here to ensure the optimal solution for your bus bodies.
How does our consultative process work?
Stalatube’s customer case process is based on cooperation and operative team work together with our customers. Every step of the way is determined carefully starting with customer expectations. We set up a common target and method used after the examination are made by Stalatube’s engineers. The final outcome will be simulated by using 3D programming. We also emphasize the importance of communication with our customers throughout the whole project.
