 SKS Bus Launches E5 Modular – The High Definition Bus
SKS Bus has announced the launch of its new generation bus, the E5 Modular, which is being marketed by the company under the strapline “The High Definition Bus”.
The key point of the new bus is that it features substantial improvements in styling, whilst a modular construction for- mat allows for a large degree of standardisation, helping to reduce costs for the operator. The E5 Modular claims to of- fer the best of both worlds – the dynamics of an economical bus combined with the sophistication of a luxury vehicle.
The E5 Modular features a lighter and more aerody- namic body, ensuring a higher efficiency vehicle. This has been made possible in part by improvements in technology which have made it possible to design a lighter frame with twice the strength of previous models as well as a much lower centre of gravity.
Modular panels make it possible for customers to choose the design they like best without having to change the whole design of the bus. At the same time, they cut down the amount of downtime required to fix a minor accident. Meanwhile a smaller windscreen with wider road visibility thanks to advances in frame engineering make the vehicle less prone to damage by stone chips or road debris.
The E5 Modular is available with a variety of engines with different output values for every type of need, ranging from 300 ps to 380ps. Manual and automatic transmissions are available depending on the choice of engines. Electronic speed limiters, air suspension, re- tarder and ABS system are all fitted as standard.
A considerable amount of attention has been paid to the interior design of the E5 Modular. New panel design and floor space as well as a slimmer seat design allow much increased legroom with the same capacity seat- ing. Luggage storage space has also been redesigned to optimise both luggage capacity, head room, rigidity, whilst still providing a soothing view to passengers.
A number of different seating configurations are avail- able to suit individual needs, whilst the driver’s bay has been ergonomically designed to suit an array of differ- ent drivers. Buttons and switches have been strategi- cally placed with instruments oriented to driver’s eye level to increase focus on driving.
The E5 Modular also features an optimised luggage compartment with a redesigned low profile door system allowing a much increased usable luggage space.
The SKS E5 Modular was officially launched in January 2012.
