The MAN ‘President’ will be unveiled at the Bus Expo and Maintenance conference in Melbourne by the MAN bus team.
Together with Bus and Coach Sales Australasia (BCSA) and body builder Bonluck, the ‘President’ bus has a 1400mm floor line and 11 square metres of luggage capacity.
“MAN was seeking to establish a locally represented and supported high floor bus product that offered improved lead times and design flexibility to accommodate customer requirements, and at an attractive price point,” Penske Commercial Vehicles national sales and service manager Clint Stoermer says.
“By coming together with BCSA and Bonluck, we have been able to achieve this.”
The MAN will soon have company with the entry level ‘Senator’ range.
Both the President and Senator are built on the IC 19.320 RR8 chassis from MAN’s modular Lion’s Chassis range.
“Man’s IC 19.320 RR8 chassis boasts fully integrated safety features and the latest in commercial vehicle technology, including electronic stability program, electrically controlled air suspension, electronic braking system and MAN’s ‘brakematic’ feature that enables downhill driving speed to be set by a cruise control or the brake pedal,” Stoermer says.
Stoermer says the President and Senator ranges are the ultimate solutions for school and charter applications.
MAN will be at stand BS13 at the conference, where the President will be displayed.
