NFRP components for bus building.

Large-area cladding and functional parts for coaches and city buses — light, damping and series-ready.

Challenge

What really counts in Bus parts.

Today every part has to meet several goals at once — that is exactly where natural fiber composite comes in.

Components & applications

What we manufacture for Bus.

Front & rear masks

Large, complex parts with a Class-A-capable surface.

Roof elements

Light and stiff — good for center of gravity and consumption.

Side cladding

Large-area, damping and ready to fit.

Interior modules & cladding

Light interior parts with good acoustics.

Flaps & covers

Functional parts incl. fastening points.

Large-area parts that become lighter and quieter.

Benefit

Lighter — and more economical.

NFRP reduces not only weight but directly the part cost — with properties comparable to GFRP.

Why NFRP lowers the part cost

Less weight = less material

Lower density and an optimized layup reduce material usage per part — directly cost-effective.

High automation

Semi-automated impregnation and digitally defined processes reduce manual work and manufacturing cost.

Manufacturing efficiency

Short cycle time through the reusable vacuum hood and ready-to-fit delivery save follow-up costs.

Proof & trust

Already built — with measurable results.

  • Comparable deflection & pull-out at the mounting points
  • Lower material cost through higher material efficiency
  • Ready-to-fit component with a defined surface

From a single source

Concept, material, tooling, manufacturing and assembly with one partner — fewer interfaces, less risk.

Reproducible series

Digitally recorded process parameters ensure consistent part quality — up to ~5,000 units / year.

Our own technology

Patented NFK Wetpreg Molding and in-house material design as a real differentiator.

How we work

From the part concept to the ready-to-fit series.

One continuous path — series-ready and reproducible.

01

Part concept & package

Requirements, packaging, interfaces — thought through from the first concept.

02

Load cases & engineering

Stiffness, temperature, vibration, weather and fastening points.

03

Material & layup

Natural-fiber plies, resin system, sandwich layup, local reinforcements.

04

Prototypes & sampling

Sample parts, demonstrators, fit trials, iteration on the real part.

05

Tooling & manufacturing

Prototype and series tooling, process window, trimming, quality assurance.

06

Finish & assembly

Gelcoat, painting, inserts, fastening points, ready-to-fit delivery.

The easy entry point

Start with an NFRP concept study.

You don't have to commit right away: send us an existing GFRP part, a drawing or an idea. We assess the potential — and you see whether the path is worth it.

  • Potential assessment: weight, cost and properties
  • Direct comparison NFRP vs. your current GFRP part
  • A concrete assessment on the real part — no theory
  • A clear recommendation for the next steps
