Busworld: Hubner to present lighter articulation, new ecoflex bellows and passenger comfort features - Sustainable Bus
""The low-floor articulation HNGK 28.2 is presented by the group as an innovative concept to meet the requirements coming with the ongoing expansion of electromobility. "Thanks to highly developed cast materials and significantly optimised weight, it stands out with improved ground clearance for buses and Hübner's proven ease of maintenance. The articulation control unit ACU4 of the latest generation fulfills all functional and cyber-security requirements", the supplier states."
""Our goal is to make an important contribution to weight reduction in articulated buses," explains Christian Arndt, Sales Manager for Articulation Systems Mobility Road at the Hübner Group. "In comparison to our previous standard articulation, we have been able to reduce the weight by 42 percent. With our weight-optimized HNGK 28.2, we are creating space for higher battery ranges and passenger capacities.""
The HNGK 28.2 is a low-floor articulation designed to meet demands from the expansion of electromobility by using highly developed cast materials and significant weight optimization. The unit provides improved ground clearance for buses and maintains Hübner's ease of maintenance while its ACU4 articulation control unit meets functional and cyber-security requirements. Hübner leverages experience from more than 100,000 systems to pursue greater sustainability and passenger comfort within its "1.60 Meters of the Bus" concept. The HNGK 28.2 reduces weight by 42 percent versus the previous standard, freeing space for higher battery ranges and passenger capacity. Ecoflex folding bellows with a new inner bellows offer thermal and acoustic insulation to lower noise levels and energy consumption.
