Visiting Munich, Germany and visiting Bintai Mechanical Bus Shelter

The Munich bus shelter project, launched in 2022, has become a model for practicality and durability on local streets, according to field visits three years later.

Recently, we visited key bus stops in Munich, including Potsdamer Straße and Leopoldstraße, to witness how these shelters, constructed from stainless steel and guaranteed for 5-10 years, demonstrate the strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing in the European market.

As a European manufacturing powerhouse, Germany has stringent standards for the quality, durability, and environmental friendliness of public facilities. In 2022, Bintai Machinery, leveraging its expertise in public facility manufacturing and overseas project experience, successfully won the bid for the Munich Bus Shelter Upgrade Project, becoming a core supplier to the local public transportation system. Following the project launch, customized stainless steel bus shelters were efficiently mass-produced and transported to Munich via the China-Europe Express, with on-site construction and commissioning gradually completed at key regional stations.

Across the various bus shelters visited, the shelters maintained a consistent industrial design style and stable performance. Unlike ordinary carbon steel or aluminum alloys, the Munich bus shelters are constructed from high-strength stainless steel. The main door frames feature thickened stainless steel plates, and the roof support structure is constructed from stainless steel pipes. Precision welded and brushed, they ensure structural stability while also providing exceptional corrosion and wear resistance. Field observations show that even in Munich's rainy climate and its wide temperature swings, the shelters remain smooth and rust-free, with joints free of deformation or loosening, fully adapted to the demands of long-term outdoor use in Europe.

The successful implementation of the Munich project has made Bintai Machinery more determined to continue to make better bus shelters, deepen its presence in the global market, and explore more practical urban public facilities solutions.
