Published at 23.08.2008 in Public transport, Minibuses
The Sprinter City 65 low-floor bus, with a length of 7.7 m and seating capacity for 30 passenger seats is instantly recognisable by its unique body with a self-supporting bus skeleton structure and panoramic windows. It was recently upgraded by the manufacturer.
The urban bus is powered by Euro 4 four-cylinder turbodiesel engines with a standard output of 80 kW (109 hp) in the case of the Sprinter City 35 and 110 kW (150 hp) in the case of the Sprinter City 65. All the diesel units in the minibus range are fitted with particulate filters.For the new model year, the range-topping Sprinter City 65 features a wealth of modifications. By way of example, the developers have enlarged the low-floor zone between the axles by around ten percent. The first seat row is now in the low-floor area to ensure barrier-free access. The higher floor at the rear can be accessed easily via a single step. The manually operated wheelchair ramp has been optimised in terms of both looks and ease of use. Other features include a new ticket counter designed for flexibile accommodation of ticket canceller and printer. The counter unit also houses the fire extinguisher, breakdown kit and the driver’s bag.
