Monocoque Chassis and DANA front / rear Axles with FIRESTONE Air Bag Suspension
ECO Green Buses are built for a minimum lifespan of 15 years under typical African climate and infrastructure conditions. The entire chassis is cathodic electrophoretic coated. It makes the surface of body frame and inner cavity of being strongly anti corrosive, anti-rust, salt fog resistant and heat moist resistant. This anti rust protection extend the whole vehicle lifespan tremendously.
DANA axles and FIRESTONE air bag suspension are exactly adjusted to the chassis and powertrain. Both are among the leading systems worldwide.
BOSCH Power Steering
Bosch is one of the premium brands in power steering for commercial vehicles. The system is highly reliable, robust and easy to maintain. Bosch power steering is an important key element in the overall safety concept of ECO Green Buses.
