Lightweight aluminum bus flaps

Unique flap concept in
revolutionary lightweight
construction

Reduce costs, save weight –
with lightweight flaps for your coaches

Whether it’s a luggage compartment flap, ventilation flap, fuel filler flap or overrun flap, you can significantly reduce the weight of flaps on coaches and intercity buses with the LiteFlap lightweight design concept from apt. The unique design saves up to 38% of the usual weight, thereby reducing costs, material consumption and CO2 emissions. The flaps, which are made entirely of aluminum, are made in Germany and thus promise reliably high quality and short delivery times. The flaps can be adapted to your design concept and fit seamlessly into the overall concept of your bus.

Reduce vehicle weight

Even though flaps do not account for the largest share of vehicle weight, weight reduction still plays a major role here. Without compromising on safety, comfort or stability, you can reduce the weight of components here by up to 30%. With the number of flaps around your bus, this adds up to quite a bit.

Fewer emissions, more sustainability

Less weight reduces vehicle consumption and thus CO2 emissions – but that’s not all. Production with less aluminum, from recycled material and at locations in the EU also reduces the burden on the environment. Because short transport routes reduce emissions.

Reduce costs

Lower material usage and highly automated manufacturing can reduce the cost per flap by up to 38%. In addition, because you need less aluminum, your dependence on the price of aluminum and the risk of price increases also decreases.

Reliable supply chain

Unlike manufacturing locations on other continents, apt’s LiteFlap bus flaps come from Europe. This means: You can rely on short delivery times and on supply chains that deliver what they promise. With manufacturing already in place, it takes 5 days from your order to delivery!
