COVID SOLUTIONS
AEGIS Microbe Shield is the first
product USSC released recently,
which has seen significant
interest from the bus sector.
AEGIS provides a 12-month
antimicrobial barrier for surfaces.
The product is applied to all high
touchpoints, including handrails,
seating, passenger windows and
driver cabin.
This gives the public
confidence to return to public
transport and interstate coach
travel, and when combined with
USSC’s PHI cell it provides a
“one-two punch” to bacteria
and viruses, the company says.
In addition to AEGIS, Active
Air with PHI Cell Technology is a
proven solution for Covid-19 in
vehicles and commercial areas,
USSC says.
The unit produces low levels
of hydroperoxides, which in pure
form is recognised as a highly
effective disinfection agent
commonly used in the health
and medical industries to kill
viruses and bacteria.
The Active Air unit can be
installed in the recirculating air
conditioning unit of a vehicle
with fixed glass windows to
continually sanitse the air as the
vehicle is operating. This occurs
autonomously and without driver
initiation and provides a constant
level of protection for both
occupants and driver.
This duration is the key to
elimination of colony-forming
bacterial and virus clusters, as
traditional high-disinfection
cleaning leaves vehicles
unprotected during operational
periods, USSC states.

application areas, it explains.
FIRE-SUPPRESSION
SOLUTIONS
Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs) are now
being rolled out across metro areas,
which creates new challenges for
builders and operators alike.
As most fire-suppression systems
were tested on diesel fires. it is vital
to understand what systems are
available for ZEBs, the compliance
of those systems and the fire
performance, based on the risk.
United Safety offers a variety
of fire-suppression systems
including the Fogmaker Water
Mist, conventional foam systems,
dry chemical powder, dual agent,
aerosol and 3M Novec.
SAFETY SYSTEMS
Safety of vehicle occupants has
been the core attributing value
of the company’s mandate and
success throughout the years.
USSC has a neat and simple
solution for the end-of-shift driver
procedure that ensures no child
is left on board a bus, or any other
item in fact, the company says.
Child Check-Mate is a driver
alarm system that ensures that the
driver has walked the length of a
full-size bus to disable an alarm
system with a push of a button.
The small box has big
functionality says McHatton,
such as audible instructions,
GPS integration capability, delay
function for loading and fueling,
and telematic output for real-time
viewing by CCTV.
