Modern Finn Lamex windscreens for safety
Case example: Windscreen for Alexander Dennis – Electric Bus Enviro400EV
Finn Lamex strives to provide the latest available technology and design available for our customers. That includes a design which is practical for the operator in terms of the field of vision but at the same time provides pedestrian safety in case of impact.
A modern bus windscreen is not just for the outlook, it is also an integral part of providing safety to the driver, passengers and pedestrians. At Finn Lamex we also consider the feasibility of the windscreen in production to provide our customers with efficiency in the production of the windscreen.
Modern outlook and aerodynamic design for the Alexander Dennis bus
A large, curved windscreen offers a smooth surface of the bus front and the curved design minimizes wind resistance contributing to more economical operation. At the same time, the appearance of the vehicle becomes modern and distinctive, reflecting the innovative spirit of both Alexander Dennis and Finn Lamex.
The field of vision of the driver and pedestrian safety
A curved wrap-around windscreen provides the best field of vision for the driver of the bus which gives the driver the certainty in busy streets and traffic.
A bus windscreen consists of laminated safety glass which is a flexible structure. In case of impact the glass can take the hit and minimizing injuries. The bigger the windscreen and the more glass is wrapped around keeping pillars back, the better chances for the pedestrian to avoid injuries compared to hitting a metal structures of the bus. This is one of the core safety aspects where thoughtful design makes a real difference in protecting lives outside the vehicle.
Collaboration with Finn Lamex of the best design of the windscreen
The best result can be achieved working together with the windscreen design to take into account the safety aspects and also feasibility in production. We look for the best balance between the customer requirements and technical possibilities. In every project we assess the best compromise between functionality and cost.
