CRMT rehabilitates with Trouillet an urban mini-bus TPMR (Transport of People with Reduced Mobility)!
THE CUSTOMER'S PROBLEM Able to accommodate up to 30 passengers, the D-city GNV is characterized by its reduced dimensions, designed to meet the constraints of the city and people with reduced mobility. The question was, how to adapt this CNG city mini-bus to the use of people with reduced mobility in order to facilitate their access to the vehicle?
CRMT’S SOLUTION As an expert in the engineering of natural gas vehicles, CRMT developed a customized solution to Trouillet Group (vehicle manufacturer), for the construction of the project specifications and the integration of the CNG components.
CRMT took up two main challenges:
- Respect the maximum mass: CRMT oriented the choice towards composite tanks instead of steel ones,
- Reach 400 km of autonomy: CRMT redesigned an integration of the storage system on the roof of the vehicle (the tanks were originally placed under the vehicle’s floor), and designed an aluminum cradle for the tanks.
WHAT’S MORE, CRMT designed and integrated an aluminum cradle that can accommodate 2 composite tanks for optimized autonomy (2 x 150 L).
