Did you know that reducing the weight of electric vehicles can help extend their charge life and allow them to travel further on a single charge? Milwaukee Composites has been pioneering lightweight phenolic composite floor panel systems for transportation vehicles for 25 years, even before electric vehicles became a popular mode of transportation.

These phenolic composite floor panels for transit buses are approximately half the weight of the previous floor materials used, making them a game-changer in the industry. Not only can passenger buses benefit from reduced weight and extended battery charge, but other electric and hybrid powered vehicles like delivery vans, industrial trucks, and even first responder vehicles can also reap the same benefits.

By reducing the mass of electric vehicle components, energy usage can be optimised, leading to increased energy efficiency and reduced energy costs. Join our live webinar to hear from industry experts on how you can save energy and ultimately reduce the costs of your electric vehicles.

Key learning points:

• MCI will demonstrate an energy savings formula and estimates of actual weight saved by a specific fleet of subway car styles operating everyday on the New York City Transit track system, using MCI’s phenolic composite floors to reduce energy costs
• EV’s have entered the transportation market quickly, and new EV’s are being designed and delivered in the United States. During the webinar various EV bus vehicles will be shown, using MCI floor panels.
• The benefits of using composite floors within other modes of transport as well as other territories where we are looking to help.
