The award was presented by an independent jury consisting of 14 industry journalists and representatives of renowned commercial vehicle magazines. LAMILUX Sunsation® impressed with its advanced technology and exceptional benefits for the commercial vehicle and bus industry.
What LAMILUX Sunsation® Offers:
1. Outstanding UV Resistance and Color Brilliance:
LAMILUX Sunsation® sets new standards in exterior cladding, especially due to its superior UV resistance. Vehicles equipped with LAMILUX Sunsation® retain their color brilliance even under intense sunlight and extreme weather conditions for many years. This significantly reduces color fading and ensures a long-lasting, attractive appearance.
2. Reduced Maintenance Costs and Increased Durability:
The extremely durable surface of LAMILUX Sunsation® protects commercial vehicles and buses from weathering, scratches, and wear. This leads to a significant reduction in maintenance and repair efforts, which is particularly advantageous in the commercial vehicle sector, where vehicles are often used in harsh conditions. The material’s longevity results in less downtime and, in the long term, lowers operational costs.
3. Lighter Weight, Higher Efficiency:
Thanks to the lighter weight of LAMILUX Sunsation® compared to traditional materials, the overall vehicle load is reduced. This leads to lower fuel consumption, improved energy efficiency, and increased payload capacity – crucial advantages in the transport and logistics industry, where efficiency and economy play a central role.
4. Flexibility and Easy Processing:
LAMILUX Sunsation® is available in various colors, surface textures, and thicknesses and can be customized to meet specific customer requirements. Brand new: LAMILUX Sunsation® is now also available with an aesthetically appealing metallic effect. The material’s easy handling and processing facilitate integration into existing production processes and reduce assembly times.
