Focus on people

Welcome to the Setra family

e have been committed to excellence in coach building for 100 years. And it was 60 years ago that a great idea for our integral body and frame took off, and is still successful today. Right from the start, this innovation was backed by a clear, uncompromising goal: every aspect of a Setra is to be Best in Class. This has remained unchanged over the years. Back then, just like today, this means more than simply constructing the best coach technically possible. Instead, we focus our attention, first and foremost, on people for every new development: on your passengers, your driver and of course on you as an entrepreneur. Today, this approach results in coaches that make travelling an experience in itself. Buses that win the enthusiasm of their drivers, motivate them and even instil them with pride. And not least of all, vehicles that constitute a positive investment for you as an entrepreneur. This also will remain so in the future.

The best economics

The economical qualities of the MultiClass

With the low-floor MultiClass, you will be on the road with economy and environmental compatibility, e.g. thanks to the EEV engines which are optionally available. In addition, corrosion protection resulting from cathodic dip painting (CDP) contributes to its overall cost-efficiency.

coachs quality and reliability are ultimately the deciding factors when it comes to its costefficiency. In this regard as well, the low-floor MultiClass is in a class all its own. It shows its commercial strengths right from the start with an excellent price/performance ratio. Maintenance and operating costs are just as exemplary as its ease of maintenance thanks to state-of-the-art drive technology. The results: an extremely favourable life cycle cost and thanks to high-quality workmanship including undercarriage protection and corrosion protection by means of cathodic dip painting incomparable value stability. The low-floor MultiClass is available with BlueTec Euro V and EEV engines upon request. This choice

constitutes a critical contribution to responsible care of the environment and of your wallet. The aggregates comply with the voluntary EEV emissions standard even without a diesel particle filter and surpass the quality of emissions required by the applicable Euro V standard. Moreover, the omission of the particle filter further reduces maintenance costs and times. Even more seats are possible since a platform in the rear of the passenger compartment is omitted. With all this, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology is a great benefit: with its help, it is possible to convert the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust together with ammonia into pure nitrogen and steam. A process which is clean and also saves on fuel.

The area designed for communication has been proven to reduce damages in the passenger compartment, and is a pleasant way to add value to your low-floor MultiClass.

The comfort you desire for your passengers

t is easy to recognise a low-floor MultiClass as a Setra vehicle right from the first glance. However, the MultiClass brings genuine Setra standards to scheduled runs in other ways as well. This applies, on the one hand, in terms of the comfort level and, on the other hand, in terms of the many different options available: in this regard, we are able to facilitate your needs. Featuring curved baggage racks, panorama windows and no-step boarding ideal for passenger flow and safety the passenger compartment boasts a particularly pleasant ambience. The specially developed seating made by Setra sets new standards: never before have scheduled service seats been so comfortable and yet so sturdy. Its innovative base makes for easy movement and cleaning, its weightoptimised construction makes it economically lightweight, and its lean design generates valuable space. The best of conditions also exist for heating and climate control: draughtfree, efficient air and temperature distribution ensure that your passengers are comfortable even on long routes with air-conditioning available in three categories for use as required. The space for prams or wheelchairs fits in perfectly with the compartment concept as does the manually or electrically operated wheelchair ramp. In connection with state-of-the-art low-floor technology, this provides you with an ideal basis for barrier-free service.

If you opt for the wheelchairaccessible entry, you can choose between a manually operated ramp and a motorised one.

Examples of model cockpit design

This is the only way to ensure a cockpit that meets all the requirements necessary for high levels of concentration, relaxed driving, and also for the greatest safety, punctuality and reliability in scheduled service provision. The form of the cockpit is a typical example: the clear separation protects the driver while at the same time increasing his level of concentration. The interior is an admirable combination of modern ergonomics and the specifications of renowned business associations. All instruments feature intuitive operation, and storage compartments and trays ensure that everything remains
