• Scania is now offering British operators the K113 TRB coach chassis with independent front suspension. The three-axle chassis, K113 TRA, is designed for high-specification double-deck touring coaches, although it can be used with single-deck bodywork. The independent front suspension adds up to £6,000 to the TRB, which has a beam axle and was introduced in the mid1980s.
The independent suspension allows the driver's seating area to be lowered and gives a centre aisle behind the driver with a double-deck body.
The first K113 TRA, with Van Hool bodywork, has gone into service with Coventrybased operator Harry Shaw. Plaxton and Berkhof bodies will also be available.
