What we can do in terms of buses and trucks.
HMI Products for a pleasant journey.
On long trips in trucks and coaches, well-designed HMIs are becoming more important for user well-being. The pioneering HMI design and ergonomic operation of EAO components offer you fantastic benefits in this respect. They make travel more comfortable for drivers and passengers, whether by means of intuitive symbols, bright illumination for controlling lighting functions, or in air conditioning, heating systems or in entertainment electronics.
In buses, HMI Solutions from EAO optimise intuitive control as well as the operation of toilet facilities and the coffee machine. Clever door unlocking and opening as well as chassis-lowering facilitate passenger access.
Expertise in buses and trucks.
Everything you need for the electrical transformation.
The electrical revolution is pushing cities down the path of transformation toward zero emissions. Thanks to EAO, they can make public transport more attractive with clean and quiet electric buses – in compliance with all emissions- and noise-protection-related regulations, of course. As a leading HMI manufacturer, we also offer you multifunctional solutions that you can easily integrate into your “look and feel” – without expensive adaptations.
New version of the ECE UN-R107/08 norm
The new version of the ECE UN-R107/08 norm for (public) buses has the objective of making vehicle access easier for passengers with restricted mobility. HMIs from EAO offer a tactile surface, acoustic and visual feedback and good visual contrast.
Individual advice
The wide range of EAO products can be tailored to the specific designs, colour schemes and other demands of individual customers.
The future: driverless buses
The bus of the future will no longer have a driver, and with that in mind EAO offers robust and innovative HMI solutions for passenger safety.
We have already obtained the relevant expertise with reliable Series for the new market of autonomous buses.
