The recently developed 13.5m intercity bus chassis (4X2) is a new platform engineered for high-speed intercity commute with larger saloon space. It offers 20 per cent bigger passenger capacity having the capacity to equip 36 sleeper berths against the 12m intercity chassis that has the capacity to equip 30 sleeper berths, thereby giving scope to maximise per trip revenue to its owners.
