Engine compartment

Engine compartment

The demanding environment of the engine compartment

The engine compartment of buses and coaches is a harsh environment requiring reliable solutions, resistant to extreme temperatures above 100°C, offering a high level of waterproofness as well as protection against water rising by capillarity.

Our solutions to meet harsh conditions

To meet these constraints, we have developed suitable encapsulated solutions such as:

– Start and engagement switches

– Power sockets

– Indicator lights: LEDs

Our expertise in resin coating enables us to offer command control and signaling solutions adapted to the most harsh applications.

Reliability and sturdiness of MAFELEC solutions

All MAFELEC products for the engine compartment have been designed and tested according to international standards (EN60529) and requirements.
