Chassis systems operating without compressed air are the future of electromobility. HEMSCHEIDT Fahrwerktechnik shows how the use of innovative technologies makes it possible to save both energy and space in bus design. The hydropneumatic suspension and damping system makes it possible to provide more driving comfort and stability.

The hydropneumatics alternative to compressed air makes use of oil as a hydraulic fluid. The system gives a high degree of stability – even on uneven road surfaces. Due to the system’s high level of efficiency, more than two thirds of the energy typically used for the bus’s lifting and lowering operations can be saved.

Increased passenger safety through ongoing developments and new materials solutions – with innovations for existing door safety and anti-trap protection systems. Groundbreaking: A new technology using an innovative configuration in the finger protection profile projects a light curtain at a 90-degree angle in the entry area of inward-swinging doors. On this basis, the SensIQ touchless detects persons or objects and provides touchless protection during entry and exit.

Newly developed contact edge round out the HÜBNER portfolio, making SensIQ contact compatible with all major systems currently used in public transport.  The new model variants ensure even more passenger safety with the best in fire safety standards.

And HÜBNER is turning to innovative new material formulations: Silicone offers entirely new options as a material for use at the door’s leading edge. Its particular advantage is reliable functionality throughout a very large temperature range. From the Norwegian North Cape to Abu Dhabi – finger protection profiles made of silicone provide reliable performance even in the most extreme conditions.
