PEI Mobility, the importance of dynamic simulation in development of high-tech products

The dynamic simulation in vehicle design is an important virtual analysis and testing tool that has been supporting physical tests made in automotive industry for a long time now. In particular, the sector of urban bus design is a theme of great interest for research in the automotive world, both in…

Each new bellow design is tested at in-house 1-to-1 scale test benches, according to IATF and VDA automotive standards, that simulate all possible movements as required by customer’s technical specifications: static test bench, water test, single dynamics test as well as hose guiding system dynamic test.

Bellows, all of PEI Mobility’s innovative systems

Over the years, PEI Mobility has developed and produced several innovative systems, many of which have been patented:

• The connecting clips between bellows: the system allows a quick and easy installation, in addition to a reliable and custom-tailored product.

• The fastening of internal bellows to the body and central hoop: this system allows fast replacement and gives great stability to the structure.
  
• The innovative external bellows fixing system to the vehicle body: it provides a quick installation, unique on the market: in this way bellows become extremely easy to inspect and maintain.
  
• The special zips reduce the tension of the bottom part fabrics and ensure a more effective sealed area.
  
• The clip system for the bottom is easy to install and reliable.

The constant research and development activity of the PEI Mobility engineering team aims towards increasingly sustainable urban mobility, with solutions designed to guarantee maximum passenger comfort and safety, as well as resistance and ease of maintenance of bus components.
