TWO-DECK the CARAVAN - HOTELS я .2.
That "Neoplan" Even among the people far from the transport
Business, perhaps, will not be those who would not hear about the trading
To stamp Neoplan. About the trade mark, as
The company-manufacturer of the well-known buses is called "Gottlob
Auwarter GmbH "Name Neoplan has appeared almost half a century ago
- So have christened the first bearing bus body in length of 10 metres.
In the mid-fifties it has made the present furore. And when in 1966
Has appeared two-storeyed Skyhner on 135 passengers, the stamp recognised
The world leader in construction of passenger vehicles. In
To the production program of firm from Stuttgart was much
dvuhetazhek it is enough to recollect Jetliner, Spaceliner, Transliner.
But even among them there are original best sellers, names
Which speak for itself Megaliner, Megashuttle. Along with
chetyrehosnymi solo versions the company has risked two last
To create jointed Jumbocruiser In one of the European countries
Private businessmen use written off and restored
The giant as hotel. Wishing to plunge into exotic
There is enough. Owing to the developed conjuncture by the end of 90th years
The last century the company has reduced number of let out models.
However dvuhetazhki have not died out in the production program
Remain Centroliner N4426/3UL for suburban messages and
"Long-range" Skyhner N122/3L Unlike chetyrehosnyh
Megaliner on 94 places or N 128/4 on 180 places, they trehosnye, and
Their design of essential changes has not undergone the Body
Represents the spatial steel basis and
The farm-skeleton welded from box-shaped profiles of rigidity Similarly
To all modern liners face-to-face and back walls of a body
stekloplastikovye, and lateral panels and roof sheets - from
Stainless steel.
One more symbol of technical progress of last decades -
Two-layer tonirovannye glasses with a vacuum layer,
Preventing zapotevanie or obmerzanie at differences
Temperatures. Under windows there passes the bar hidden for a covering
The strengthenings, carrying out simultaneously protective function. It is called
To provide safety of passengers at lateral collision
The bus with high bodies of lorries or boards of trailers.
To the private king of caravans-hotels, as they say, the God ordered
To be on the ball. German engineers and designers have taken care about
Volume that tourist liners had disk brakes of all
Wheels with ABS and ASR, and the brake system had three contours
Instead of usual two. That cars were equipped with the electromagnetic
Brake-zamedlitelem and the hydraulic booster of all operated wheels, and
Wheels turned on the big corner [to 55 б ) At last,
That buses were completed with reliable monitoring systems and
Diagnostics of all established onboard the equipment. Small
Deviation. With the advent of Megaliner one history is connected. In that
Time in Europe operated restriction on length of the single
Buses: the maximum of 12 metres - and a point "Neoplan" has managed to achieve
That it chetyrehosnik has saved comprehensible radius of turn for
The bill of three operated axes (two lobbies and one back)
The most popular model among the bus enterprises
"Long-range" Neoplan Skyliner N122/3L it is claimed and now,
When Europe worries recession after introduction of uniform currency However,
It is completed with the Euro-2 engine, and for the Old World now
Euro-3 motors are actual. But for our country the bus simply
It is unique. Pledge to they be its hardy 523-strong engine
Mercedes-Benz, nursing without one and a half million problems
Kilometres. Very opportunely - capacious luggage spaces
In total volume to 13 cubic metre As to salon, it
Can be 56 or 78-seater.
"Setra" from Ulm.
One more well-known DM too is not the name
The companies. The stylised letter "To" before a word "Setra"
Represents a logo of the machine-building company "Karl
Kassbohrer ". Its production also is one of most
Claimed, and not only in Europe. Like the aforementioned
To firm-zemljachke, its production was marked time and again various
The international awards and titles. It is the correct certificate
Achievements and acknowledgement of its high level
Competitiveness. By the way, the first two-storeyed trehosnik firm
Has let out in 1969. And the most known two-storeyed liner for
Distant routes the model with index S now is
308 DT I could visit on its world premiere Germany
And, I admit fairly, did not expect to see there huge number
Interested persons. For today S 308 DT from the wheel
The formula 6я 2 is the most large-sized product of the company.
This 12-metre liner is calculated on transportation of 58 passengers and
It is equipped by all conceivable and inconceivable conveniences. Demand for it
After a debut of 1998 has surpassed even expectations of founders.
Already on the second year of release the number of orders for him has grown on
The quarter, and market share in a segment of new buses has made 13
% It speaks also the highest quality of assemblage, and successful
Design, and high operational indicators, in
Much reached thanks to 524-strong mersedesovskomu
To the diesel motor and 8-step transmission with the electronic
"Brains". Sceptics assert, that in the near future demand on
dvuhetazhki will sharply fall. But allow to disagree with them.
How much was similar forecasts! And how much from them has come true? That
And it is mistaken the one who believes as if days dvuhetazhek
Are considered. It is possible to judge demand for them at least by such example,
During manufacture of caravans-hotels only under stamp Neoplan
It is let out over 4000 buses of the international class of model
Skyliner. And how much they were all!
By the way, in the beginning of this autumn at a traditional exhibition
Commercial vehicles IAA in Hanover [which
Time in two years] world community is arranged will be
"Long-range" two-storeyed liner Setra 400 is presented. As
See, an era of two-deck caravans-hotels and with approach of the third
Millenia has not passed. And can, all only begins...
