Originally,
buses were built with a strong, heavy chassis frame which performed
the load-bearing function for the entire vehicle. Nowadays,
buses are made with self-supporting bodies, the total structure
of the bus body performing the entire bearing function.
Studies and tests carried out on vehicles with elastic-bonded
body panels have shown that side windows and side panels in
particular act as stiffening planes to increase torsional stiffness,
adding enormously to the structural rigidity of the vehicle
and consequently improving the ride comfort for driver and passengers
alike.
Sika offers a complete range of adhesives and sealants specifically
formulated to meet the needs of bus manufacturers.
