Thermoformed components made of SIMORAIL HL3 – for greater sustainability in local public transport

The expansion of urban areas has produced greater demand for fast and efficient public transport. In this context, sustainability and climate protection are playing an increasingly important role. Against this backdrop, the Australian city of Brisbane has teamed up with Carrosserie HESS AG, Switzerland, for the purpose introducing a fleet of battery-powered double-articulated buses as part of its new metro system. PLASTIKA BALUMAG AG, also based in Switzerland, is producing the thermoformed roof frame and door covers made of SIMORAIL HL3 for these electric buses.
