A manual ramp and an electrically operated ramp for access to buses: two devices in one single product. H\u00dcBNER has developed a hybrid system that makes it easier for disabled persons to board buses. The new module combines an electric and a manual ramp in one unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first 250 double ramps have been in use in Madrid since September 2021 in Solaris vehicles<\/strong>. The bus manufacturer has already placed orders for additional ramps, H\u00dcBNER states. Articulated buses for urban transport in the Norwegian capital Oslo will be equipped with a total of 336 double ramps. Each of the 168 buses will have two of the double ramps \u2013 one at the front entrance and another at the rear. HTG will thus be producing 336 ramps in Kassel and has been making deliveries to Solaris since August 2022. In addition, the H\u00dcBNER Group is supplying 168 gangway systems for the fleet in Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important benefit of the new double ramp is that “in the event of a breakdown in the automatic components, the driving personnel can use the manual folding ramp and continue operation without any limitations. Downtimes while waiting for the delivery of spare parts are also eliminated”, the group hihglights. <\/p>\n\n\n\nH\u00dcBNER ramp electrically and manually operated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
