Touring Coach
High-floor coach for charter, tour and long-distance scheduled work, with a full-length luggage bay under a raised passenger deck. Seat pitch and luggage volume are the two figures that decide the sale.
Features
- Raised deck over a continuous luggage bay, with bay volume and door aperture specified against the operator's typical group.
- Reclining seats with adjustable pitch, footrests, individual reading lights and service units overhead.
- On-board WC, galley or coffee point and a driver rest berth on long-distance specifications.
- Wheelchair lift and securement positions available, with a corresponding reduction in seat count.
- Two- or three-axle configuration; the third axle carries the extra mass of a 14 m body and allows higher luggage loading.
