THE ALUMINIUM ADVANTAGE
Aluminium is an industry staple in heavy-duty trucking, aircraft, and high-performance cars. It is a superior choice for the bus transport industry, giving Hafilat’s aluminium-bodied buses a competitive edge.
Aluminium’s enhanced flexibility allows it to be extruded into complex, intricate shapes without compromising structural integrity. Its meagre weight translates into buses up to 400 kilogrammes lighter than their steel counterparts. It is the material of choice for the fleets of some of the world’s biggest companies, including KMB Hong Kong, Grenda Australia, and Comfort Delgro in Singapore.
By utilising aluminium bodies and gusseted joint systems, along with high-quality materials and technologies, Hafilat ensures every bus body is structurally strong, corrosion-resistant, easily maintained, and, above all, comprehensively safe.
