We tried Cerita,Isuzu,TATA Hispano,AL Luxura, Mercedes-Benz and now finally a SCANIA Metro Link HD 14.5 Meters has been taken on trial for 2 months. Initially, the bus will run between KPHB Colony (Hyderabad) and Vijayawada.
The Swedish Manufacturer of coaches has entered the Indian market a bit late, but it is better late than never right! After the four laning of highways and the increased presence of volvo , long distance road journeys have become common now.
The 14.5 meter long,2.6 meter wide and 3.7 meter high bus has a 13 liter,410 HP engine with opticruse automatic transmission from SCANIA with a steerable tag axle. This bus has EBS and ABS for safety and can seat 53 passengers on seats with calf support by Harita.
Given the positive response from other operators which are using this bus ,Hope APSRTC successfully goes past the trial stage to induct these in to their fleet and give tough competition to private operators.
