High-Performance Flooring Solutions for the Bus Industry
Treadmaster was originally developed for London’s iconic double-decker buses in the 1950s and has been used in public service vehicles around the world ever since. While today much of our flooring is supplied to the rail industry, Treadmaster remains a trusted choice for bus manufacturers and operators. The brand was proudly selected for the modern Routemaster bus, designed by Heatherwick Studio and built by Wrightbus, which entered service in London in 2012.
