3M’s innovative and affordable
solutions for bus body building
The bus body building industry in
India has rapidly evolved over the
years to pave way for newer solu-
tions that spell comfort, quality,
innovation and higher productiv-
ity. The Government has also been
equally involved in building an ef-
ficient road transport network that is
durable, convenient and accessible
for the public.
The other factors that contribute
to a better mode of transport in-
clude environment-friendly and safe
modes of transport, aesthetically ap-
pealing coaches, etc.
3M, on its part, is creating innova-
tive yet affordable solutions that as-
sist bus body builders to work better
and faster. This, in turn, increases
builders’ productivity and contrib-
ute to the demand-supply curve.
3M believes that it is sustainable
manufacturing that helps manufac-
products & components
turers and other stakeholders get the
benefit of long-standing and durable
assets through its easy-to-use and
cost-effective bus body fabrication
solutions.
3M Industrial Adhesives & Tapes
Division has partnered with a ma-
jority of body builders in India who
use solutions such as bonding of
side panels combining VHB tapes
and PU sealants, sealing of roofs
to ensure zero leakages, bonding of
stiffeners, etc. These solutions have
helped builders increase their pro-
ductivity, bring down their rework
and eliminate the long ‘process idle’
For more than five years
3M has been working con-
tinuously to address and
resolve these issues while
making it easier for hun-
dreds of bus body builders
across the country.
