Description:A project that developed a modular and easily integrated system for the interior side panels. In its production were applied new core cork composite materials (CoreCORK), providing greater resistance, better sound and thermal insulation and lightness. For the bus floor, IBUS developed a cork core composite floor (CoreCORK) that adds acoustic and thermal comfort and dramatically reduces 40% of the weight of the floor. IBUS designed and developed new luggage doors, manufactured from two parts-an outer CoreCORK fiberglass composite part that turns the doors lighter, more durable and strength, to prevent the frequent metal corrosion problems of currently used doors.
The IBUS consortium presents a new vision for the road transport sector: an eco-efficient, lightweight, comfortable and integrated concept for interior and exterior of touring coaches.
