✔ OPENING DOORS TO SAFETY IN MASS TRANSIT SYSTEMS

BODE – Araç Kapı Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. stands at the intersection of safety, functionality, and engineering excellence in the mass transit industry - offering innovative door systems developed for city and intercity passenger buses. Specializing in pneumatic, electric, and manual systems, our company produces highly durable, tailor-made solutions for various vehicle segments.

In our modern production facility located in Bursa Uludağ Organized Industrial Zone, with a total land area of ​​22,275 square meters, 19,213 square meters of which is closed usable area, we provide high‑quality bus door systems for both domestic and global markets. Our production lines integrate industrial automation, and our team brings sector‑specific technical expertise. We customize pneumatic, electric, and manual door system variants such as single-wing/double-wing, in-swinging/out‑swinging or plug-sliding to suit different bus segments.


✔ A PROSPECT STRENGTHENED BY HALF A CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP

Our journey began in 1967 with the manufacture of bus bodies, and in 1978 we became the first company in Turkey to locally produce door and piston systems for city and intercity buses, marking a major milestone in the sector. Since then, every system we design for commercial vehicles has been tested in the field to meet requirements of quality, safety, and durability, and has continuously evolved based on user feedback.

In 1995, to elevate our sectoral expertise to a global level, we entered a 50‑50 joint venture with BODE – die Tür GmbH, a world leader in the design and production of bus and rail vehicle door systems. This partnership enhanced both our technological depth and international competitiveness, positioning us not only as a leader in Turkey but also among Europe’s pioneering solution providers.


✔ FROM ENGINEERING TO PRODUCT: AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

At BODE – Araç Kapı Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., we approach bus door systems not merely as products, but through an engineering philosophy that prioritizes passenger safety, driver ergonomics, and system integration. Our in‑house expert engineering teams oversee every phase, from design and prototyping to testing and production. Every factor affecting dynamic door performance such as material selection, mechanical structure, control systems, and environmental conditions is systematically calculated, tested, and validated.

As our products are developed for high-frequency use, critical elements such as opening‑closing cycle tests, temperature trials, water and dust resistance tests, safety locking mechanisms, and emergency egress systems are integral parts of our quality assurance processes.


✔ SYSTEMS EQUIPPED WITH SMART ACCESS TECHNOLOGY

In modern bus door systems, mechanical safety alone isn't sufficient; electronic control, ergonomic ease of use, and aesthetic coherence are also vital. At BODE – Araç Kapı Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., we integrate all three aspects in each of our products. Our solutions are built on infrastructure designed to seamlessly integrate not only with today’s but also tomorrow’s bus technologies.


✔ PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES FOR RAIL SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Our expertise extends beyond bus door systems. With our component solutions for rail systems, we provide engineering contributions that meet the structural demands of railway transportation.

Our rail‑sector products stand out in passenger safety, system durability, and high integration capability. By merging functionality and quality expertise from bus systems into rail system components, we add value to the industry.


✔ CERTIFIED QUALITY, INDUSTRIAL ASSURANCE

All our production processes comply with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, IRIS, ISO 14001, and other relevant quality and environmental standards. This certification infrastructure confirms that every product offered by BODE – Araç Kapı Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. meets internationally accepted quality norms.

Moreover, systematic audits and quality control processes ensure flawless delivery and sustainable performance in both domestic and international markets.


✔ ACCREDITED LABORATORY SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL TRAINING

Within our company, our Test and Calibration Laboratory provides technical validation services across key areas: measurement and verification of door systems and components, quality tests, durability analyses, and corrosion tests. In 2023, this laboratory received accreditation from TÜRKAK, gaining international recognition.

Additionally, through technical training programs for the sector, we support the technical capacity of our customers, suppliers, and business partners in critical areas such as calibration, measurement techniques, metrology, and corrosion analysis.


✔ A RELIABLE SUPPLIER, LONG‑TERM PARTNER AND A TRUSTED BRAND
