Next generation floors for next generation vehicles

As bus technology has been forced to change and evolve, so too have interior components. With the new age of zero emission vehicles, Altro is pleased to introduce its most technically sophisticated floors to date. Born from our popular Altro Transflor Wood and Altro Transflor Artis collections, we are bringing together a range of contemporary, natural-themed design choices offered across three levels of performance. Our goal? To help stimulate the adoption of clean public transport, by delivering inclusive and welcoming bus interiors that improve passenger experience.

Altro Artis™

A resilient 2.2mm compact bus floor available in 25 contemporary designs including 14 wood options.

Altro Metris™

A lightweight 2.85mm compact-acoustic bus floor available in 12 contemporary designs including 7 wood options.

Altro Sonis™

A 3.9mm full-acoustic bus floor available in 8 contemporary designs including 5 wood options.


Thermal management

Efficient thermal regulation is essential to both passenger comfort and operational charge range. The thermal insulation benefits of our products complement other interior components to contribute to maintaining optimum interior temperature without eating into charge miles.

Acoustic insulation

The sound experienced in zero emission buses is drastically different to those with internal combustion engines. Quieter powertrains lead to a greater awareness of intrusive exterior noise as well as emitting high frequency sound audible to passengers. Our acoustic products have been developed specifically to address ambient noise in quieter vehicles and are rigorously tested for different types of sound for optimum performance.

Weight optimization

Historically the inclusion of insulation and acoustic materials has been a one size for all scenario dependent on introducing additional weight to the payload of the vehicle. Our latest collection provides the freedom for people to evaluate their needs based on operating conditions and insulate for sound and temperature without adding excessive extra weight.

Material recyclability

To align the new collection with the industry’s pursuit of more sustainable materials and operating methods, we have ensured that the three products in this new collection are our most recyclable to date.
