The Original from HÜBNER

“1.6 meters of the bus”

Plug & Play: Completely ready to install - HÜBNER systems have been connecting the passenger areas of articulated buses for decades. With all these years of experience and more than 100,000 articulation systems in the market, we continue to develop our “1.6 meters of the bus”. Clearly defined connection surfaces ensure that all requirements are met in both low-floor and high-floor areas.

The complete “1.6 meters of the bus” includes:

An articulation system that can be adjusted to any vehicle type
An electronic articulation control unit that provides maximum safety
A power connection system that can be safely and flexibly stowed in floor, side or ceiling areas
Folding bellows that can be delivered in a wide range of colors, forms and designs according to customer wishes
Floor and ceiling coverings for more comfort through thermal and acoustic insulation

HÜBNER Highlights at Busworld Europe 2025

We are advancing sustainable mobility through greater energy efficiency – with customized components and systems for our customers in the bus and commercial vehicle industry.

Bus articulation HNGK 28.2

Less weight, more energy efficiency

We are actively shaping the transformation to electromobility. As an innovative weight-reduced alternative, our new low-floor articulation contributes significantly to improvements in the energy efficiency of articulated buses. The HNGK 28.2 weighs up to 42 percent less than the previous standard articulation model. In addition to being easy to maintain, it also offers increased ground clearance. With this design, we help transit operators keep their vehicles running efficiently with minimal downtimes.

The advantages of the HNGK 28.2 at a glance:

Improved carbon footprint thanks to weight savings
Up to 42% weight reduction compared to standard articulations
Sophisticated cast materials
Improved ground clearance for buses
Proven ease of maintenance
Latest generation articulation control unit ACU 4 with functional safety and compliance with the latest cyber security requirements

Ecoflex: Folding bellows material

The multifunctional innovation

As the latest innovation from our Material Development area, we are presenting Ecoflex – a folding bellows fabric that sets new standards in fire safety, sustainability and insulation.

Ecoflex helps to provide greater safety and sustainability in public transport. In combination with our new inner bellows, the thermal and acoustic insulation properties are also noteworthy – simultaneously optimizing noise levels and energy consumption. Ecoflex production takes place 100 percent in-house in the strong company network of the HÜBNER Group – from formulation to final production.

Special features:

Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties
Better CO₂ footprint than conventional fabric blends
Design flexibility with a larger range of colors
Extremely low fire load

Feel-good atmosphere

Folding bellows illumination

Articulated buses shine in a new light with HÜBNER. Translucent fabrics, a wide variety of colors, and lighting elements integrated in our articulation systems create a feel-good atmosphere and increase riding comfort. In addition, innovative design elements enhance the quality of the passenger experience and increase passengers' sense of safety.

These new elements can be easily retrofitted in existing systems and are also simple to maintain. HÜBNER offers lighting solutions that are directly integrated in the folding bellows – in flexible configurations in accordance with customer requirements. For example, we can implement LED lighting elements either in the center frame or directly in the folding bellows. Contact us and we will be happy to find the right solution for you.

Our features:

LED illumination in the inner bellows frame
Simple installation and removal
Increased attractiveness with a range of customizable colors

Innovative outlooks

Holographic applications for windows and doors

Smart solutions for the passenger experience: Transparent holographic displays provide passengers with real-time information — such as arrival and departure times — right in their field of vision when looking out the window or through the vehicle doors. HÜBNER is developing these innovative applications in cooperation with Zeiss Microoptics. Shopping opportunities or tourist attractions can also be displayed in the windows of buses or trains, providing improved passenger information in a futuristic style.

Holographic technology delivers significant advantages in comparison with traditional solutions such as OLED systems, requiring less energy and space – and all of this with high image resolution.

In addition, we are also presenting another passenger-focused holographic application at Busworld 2025 that has been developed in cooperation with Zeiss Microoptics. The Holo-Button is an innovative system for touchless opening of doors in buses and trains. The new system provides excellent functionality in an attractive, futuristic design. Experience the future of public transport through holographic innovation – with HÜBNER and ZEISS!

Speedy and reliable

Your proactive service partner

HÜBNER is there as a strong partner for bus manufacturers and transit operators throughout the entire product life cycle. Our technical support is fast, reliable and proactive.

The challenge: It is often the case that vehicle defects are only detected after unusual noises, unexpected error messages or problematic vehicle handling makes them apparent. This, in turn, results in unplanned vehicle downtime. For more reliability and reduced downtimes, HÜBNER now offers a new, proactive maintenance concept with multiple service package options.

Plus: Fast response times to repair requests thanks to our digital remote service via video call. Spare parts ordered today, delivered tomorrow – thanks to high availability and fast logistics, we ensure that your fleet is always ready for action.
