Did you know Autoglym products are used to clean trains, buses and coaches too? For 30 years, Autoglym have supplied the transport industry with specialist products to ensure public service vehicles are clean, safe and sanitised all year round. This dedicated range is called Autoglym Connect and has been designed specifically for this purpose.
We count some of the biggest names in the bus business as customers, with Stagecoach, Arriva and Go Ahead Group all using our products. At the other end of the size scale are the regional operators who are often family owned and take immense pride in their fleets. However, many buses or coaches an operator is running, one thing is consistent – the Engineering Directors all expect the highest standards and want their vehicles to look the best – and that is where we come in.
Working with the vehicle cleaning teams, we devise an easy to follow, swift and efficient routine to ensure the thousands of buses cleaned every night of the year are ready for service the following day. We provide easy to use dilution equipment that ensure our super-concentrated cleaners are mixed to the perfect strength so cleaning teams can quickly refill their spray bottles at the push of a button. This saves time, reduces manual handling and eliminates the “glug factor”, preventing overuse of our products.
We have products that can clean the whole vehicle inside and out, including wheels, chassis, bodywork, glass, seats, floors, walls, grab rails and buttons. We even have a product for cleaning the workshop floor!
We are always looking to meet the needs of this unique industry and with the rise of electric buses comes new challenges. Lightweight materials used to build this new generation of buses must be cared for differently. If you are spending £350,000 on a new bus, you want to make sure it lasts, and operators are ever mindful that by cleaning and protecting it from day one, it will still be in service 20 years later. We work with leading bus builders and industry suppliers to share ideas and insight, including our parent company Altro, who have recently launched a brand-new range of bus flooring products, engineered to address operational challenges unique to zero emission vehicles.
So, if you’ve taken a ride in the last few years, there’s a good chance you were sitting on a seat cleaned with Autoglym and standing on a floor made by our parent company Altro.
