Located in Emilia-Romagna, in the heart of Italy’s Motor Valley, PEI Mobilty was born in a context of excellence and over the years has developed a wide range of products for interconnection, becoming a key partner for leading manufacturers of articulated buses.
Years of activity and success in the sector have led PEI Mobility to have sold 10,000 bellows in Europe and worldwide to date, resulting in being a reference partner in a high-level position on the international scene.
Made with high-tech materials, our bellows feature patented systems that ensure powerful fastening to the carriage body to guarantee ultra-smooth movement, greater reliability and increased on-board comfort. Flexibility and efficiency are constantly supported by extensive engineering expertise, IATF automotive certification, stringent tests and calculation procedures, together with continuous research and development activities.
PEI Mobility bellows are made of UV-resistant copolymer complying with the highest safety regulations in the automotive field. A wide range of colours, in addition to the traditional grey, allows extensive customisation. The translucent fabric option makes the vehicle’s interior more luminous, greatly improving passenger comfort.
Over the years, PEI Mobility has developed and produced several innovative systems, many of which have been patented:
- The connecting clips between bellows: the system allows quick and easy installation, in addition to being a reliable and custom-tailored product
- The fastening of internal bellows to the body and central hoop: this system allows fast replacement and gives great stability to the structure
- The innovative external bellows fixing system to the vehicle body: it allows quick installation, which is unique on the market: bellows become extremely easy to inspect and maintain
- The special zips reduce the tension of the bottom38 part fabrics and ensure a more effective sealed area
- The clip system for the bottom is easy to install and is reliable
