• Neoplan's Transliner coach is now available from UK importer Rotherham-based Carlton PSV in right-hand-drive. A higher floor version of the oneyear-old coach will come to Britain next year.
Carlton is currently demon strating two 3.28m-high Transliners. The model has been sold on the Continent for the past year; so far more than 500 have been sold. The UK demo models are versions of the standard 51-seater model, which costs from around £125,000.
The higher floored 3.61mhigh Transliner will cost between £130,000 and £135,000. It will offer extra luggage space.
The higher floored 12m Transliner was launched on the Continent six months ago; so far 200 have been built. The floor is 1.06m high instead of the standard 0.68m.
Both of the steel-bodied integrals can be powered by a choice of Mercedes-Benz, Scania or Daf engines, with power ratings from 216kW (290hp) to 231kW (310hp).
They use ZF six-speed manual gearboxes.
