Connection Systems for Articulated Buses
PEI Mobility is a brand of https://www.pei.it/en/, a leading company in the field of dynamic protections for machine tools. Born and raised in a context of excellence – the Motor Valley – the company has specialised, during its twenty years of experience, in the production and sale of bellows for articulated buses and today presents itself with an important expansion of its product range.
Bellows for Articulated Buses
Years of activity and success in the sector have led PEI Mobility to currently count 10,000 bellows in Europe and around the world, earning it a leading position on the international scene. A result also achieved thanks to the help of the two foreign production plants, one in Serbia and the other in Brazil, which report to the headquarters in Bologna.
Articulation Joints and Gangway Systems
On the strength of its proven bellows production and characterised by a high technological level in terms of the fabrics used, the number of patented systems and its ability to customise, the PEI Mobility brand now presents itself to the market with a major production novelty: a range of innovative, high-performance joints. Thanks to cutting-edge materials, such as the introduction of short carbon fibre with the SMC technique, and its compatibility with all types of chassis, the new PEI Mobility joints now offer unique solutions on the market in terms of lightness and flexibility.
- Mission / Vision Statement
-
The mission for the renewed business unit: to become a reference player for the complete supply of gangway systems, with a focus on sustainable mobility.
- Strategy
-
PEI Mobility’s range of articulations includes models suitable for all kinds of chassis
We have designed and produced articulations with forward and backward pitch axis, in order to serve both market standards, and we propose ourselves as a universal partner for all manufacturers of articulated buses.
Efficiency and innovation are the keystones on which our R&D and production departments focus their experienced work to offer high quality products to the market.
With a view to technological improvement, we have designed steel articulations, which are market standard, and articulations with carbon-fibre parts, a brand new addition in this sector.
- Sustainability Goals
-
Mobility solutions developed to achieve the highest level of sustainability and innovation
PEI Mobility’s NEW CONCEPT is based on advanced technology, an articulation WITH CARBON FIBRE
The PEI Mobility R&D department has embarked on a journey into the future, through technology and production, heading for sustainability, efficiency, and innovation.
The latest innovation mainly concerns the use of SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) technology in the design and construction of articulations.
The use of carbon fibre means joints are significantly lighter, which translates into lower fuel consumption, greater fuel autonomy, and less pollution.
The technology of these joints, which are currently in the prototype stage, is based on the combined use of carbon and steel.
