Bus & Coach Chassis
Bare running chassis supplied to a coachbuilder, with driveline, axles, steering and control systems in place and the body built separately. Ordered against the bodybuilder's mounting and cabling drawing.
Features
- Front, mid or rear engine position, which fixes where the body's floor can step and where luggage volume is available.
- Frame length, overhang and mounting bracket positions confirmed against the coachbuilder's drawing before despatch.
- Driveline, braking and electrical architecture documented so body electrics can be integrated rather than bolted on.
- Air suspension with body-levelling and kneeling control prepared for the finished vehicle.
- Chassis can be delivered running under its own power or on a transport frame.
