solid design

The solid design of the dashboard is a reflection of its rigid construction. With a corrosion resistant, stainless steel body, the bus benefits from valuable attributes such as strength, reliability, durability, easy maintenance and low operational and maintenance costs.

A lot of attention is given to ergonomics. Easy entrance, look and feel and making the dashboard suitable for both a MAN and a Volvo chassis. Engineering was done mainly on location in Israel and in close cooperation with local and international suppliers.
