The 13.5m intercity bus chassis (4X2) is a new platform engineered for high-speed intercity commute with larger saloon space.
Ashok Leyland, India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer launched its innovative 13.5m bus chassis at Prawaas 3.0, organized by the Bus & Car Operators Confederation of India (BOCI).
The 13.5m intercity bus chassis (4X2) is a new platform engineered for high-speed intercity commute with larger saloon space. It offers 20% additional passenger capacity (36 sleeper berths) against the 12m intercity chassis (30 sleeper berths), thereby maximizing per trip revenue for our customers.
Powered by a 248HP A4 engine (highest horsepower in the segment), this bus delivers better fluid economy and shorter trip time. The optional full air suspension with anti-roll bar configuration & electromagnetic retarder ensures a safe and comfortable ride. The ergonomic 3-way adjustable driver seat, cable shift gear mechanism & lower TCD guarantees fatigue-free long driving hours on Indian roads.
