Sliding Electric Door System

Sliding Electric Door System

Concealed Side-Arm Access Solution for Bus and Minibus Projects

TLG SYSTEMS sliding electric door systems are developed for bus, minibus and special vehicle body projects requiring a wide entrance opening, clean side integration, controlled electric movement and vehicle-specific installation support.

Product Overview

A sliding entrance system developed for vehicle body integration.

The sliding electric door system is positioned for projects where entrance width, body-side packaging, passenger access, interior layout and clean exterior integration must be evaluated together.

01

Sliding door architecture

Side sliding movement supports wide passenger entrance layouts while keeping the door movement controlled and integrated with the vehicle body.

02

Concealed side-arm concept

The mechanism is developed around a compact side-arm layout for vehicle projects where exterior appearance and internal passenger area are both important.

03

Vehicle-specific integration

Door aperture, step area, seat layout, body structure, wiring, emergency release and service access are evaluated project by project.

Mechanism Concept

Concealed side-arm mechanism for controlled sliding movement.

The sliding door mechanism is arranged around a compact side-arm concept. The aim is to provide controlled door movement while keeping the entrance area, side body package and passenger space as clean as possible.

  • Side sliding electric door movement
  • Concealed side-arm mechanism concept
  • Vehicle body-side package evaluation
  • Entrance step and passenger access compatibility
  • Emergency release hardware integration
  • Control unit and vehicle signal interface support
Accessible Entrance

Wide entrance area for passenger access and interior packaging.

Sliding door systems are suitable for projects where wide entrance access, passenger circulation, seat positioning, wheelchair area and internal packaging need to be evaluated together.

  • Wide entrance opening for passenger access
  • Suitable for accessible boarding layouts depending on vehicle design
  • Compatible with citybus and low-entry style entrance concepts
  • Project-specific floor and step integration support
  • Interior layout and passenger area coordination
Closed Position & Sealing

Clean closed position with vehicle-side sealing focus.

The closed position is evaluated together with glass area, sealing line, side body structure, interior trims and vehicle body tolerances. Final details are defined according to the project and vehicle platform.

  • Closed door position and sealing line evaluation
  • Glass and frame integration support
  • Vehicle body tolerance consideration
  • Interior trim and step-area coordination
  • Project-specific adjustment and validation support
