Thermal management

Temperature regulation is vital to passenger comfort, but high dependency on heating or air conditioning can cause considerable drain on batteries reducing service range. Altro can’t control the elements, but we can help keep vehicle interiors comfortable for passengers whatever the weather.


A climate of change

Buses operate in extreme climates all around the globe. As the industry transitions to zero emission vehicles, the ability to maintain efficient temperature regulation is vital. Specifying materials which contribute to insulation aid thermal management and support optimized service range.


Is losing heat losing you miles?

Running heating or air conditioning systems naturally requires valuable power. It’s therefore essential that - once achieved - an optimum temperature can be maintained. Studies have shown that up to 78% of on-board heat escapes through a vehicle’s structure. Around 8% of which escapes through the floor – as much as that which escapes through the ceiling.


Keeping the outside out and the inside in

Altro Transflor Metris and Altro Transflor Sonis are engineered to ensure low thermal conductivity to better prevent interior temperature from escaping from the vehicle. They also have high thermal resistance which works to stop external conditions from coming in. So, whether your vehicle is faced with the bitter cold of winter or the blazing heat of summer our floors can help to ensure that the interior remains just right.
