The project consists in the development and production of modular, self load-bearing full-composite bus bodies for public transportation. These buses have the advantage of being able to be driven by diesel, trolley, CNG, hybrid or full electric engines. The glass fibre-reinforced sandwich composite used for the body is a thin, self load-bearing structure that also bears the entire load in the bus. Due to the modular architecture of the body, the composite parts can be produced cost effectively in higher series. What's more, owing to the modular system, different lengths of bus bodies can be built from the same parts.
