The deployment of modern electric articulated buses continues to grow exponentially across the globe. Capable of carrying approximately 50% more passengers than standard buses, these electric vehicles (EVs) are instantly recognizable by the flexible joint that connects the two sections of the vehicle.

To the untrained eye, this bend may first appear as a simple passage for commuters. The truth is that it's a critical mechanical and electrical link. Known as the gangway, it's essential that this flexible joint is weather-resistant and capable of withstanding constant motion and mechanical stress during operations, especially when traversing dense urban environments.
