POSITIONING PROFILES FOR PULTRUSIONS IN COMPOSITE BUS BODY
A method of forming a composite vehicle components (e,g. walls, floor, roof) having interleaved foam core members and pre-pultruded reinforcing pillars by pultrudmg the cores and pillars into a vehicle component (e.g. bus sidewall formed as integral component front to rear) and cutting apertures therein for insertion of vehicle accessories (e.g. windows). Also, vehicle components can be formed having interlocking profiled edges where a first component is inserted into a second component, and rotated to bring the two components into locking engagement. A plurality of components can be formed with the same geometry, and oriented 180 degrees offset from each other to bring their profiled edges adjacent to each other.
