Hafilat Manufacturing System

Hafilat will use the Volgren manufacturing system, a system that has been used for the past 25 years. The buses are manufactured using a unique aluminium body concept that uses specially manufactured channel extrusions and matching bolted gussets to create faultless joints.

This is one of the secrets to this outstanding success story with over 20,000 buses manufactured worldwide using the system. In transport applications where continuous vibration and stresses are present due to dynamic loading, welded joints can fracture and fail. Volgren's bolted system avoids this and results in a much longer joint life.

Through attention to detail in the design stage and in the manufacturing process, Hafilat built bodies will provide greater reliability and less vehicle down-time.

The system is very versatile and Hafilat can produce a complete range of buses and coaches including double and single deck city buses, intercity buses, school buses, touring coaches and other specialist vehicles. Hafilat will tailor all buses to individual customer requirements because it understands that all operating locations have unique needs.
