What new developments will Altro Transflor be showcasing at the event?
Since 2017, Altro has made a wide range of improvements to its safety floors for heavy-duty buses. They have reduced the weight of our floors by up to 20% with no compromises on safety or durability.
Its lighter weight floors offer tensile strength improved by 15%, elongation strength improved by 20%, scratch resistance improved by 110%, and tear propagation strength improved by 40%. All these benefits are offered alongside the “industry-leading” one-in-a-million slip resistance performance of Altro transport floors.
What new advancements will you be showing for heavy-duty vehicles?
Altro will also be showcasing its unique Heavy Duty Plus (HD+) range of 2.7mm floors. The company re-engineered its HD+ range to make it its toughest and lightest yet, developed to bring unrivalled performance lasting for the service life of the vehicle. Offering robust surface resilience and excellent slip resistance in Altro’s strongest ever construction, its naturally hygienic HD+ floors are the best choice for longevity and resilience on heavy-duty buses, which see the highest levels of footfall.
What new developments do you have to offer for motorcoach?
Altro also offers a range of design-led, high durability floors for the coach market, including metallic-look Altro Transflor Artis and Altro Transflor Wood. The authentic finish of these ranges allow motorcoach interiors to present the subtle elegance of natural materials.
What can you tell us about future enhancements to your products?
Altro will be showing some sneak peeks into what the future holds, including exciting new designs and even better product formulations for all bus applications.
