The Benefits of Irisbus Technology

Power is transmitted through an Alison MD 3060 fully automatic gearbox with integral retarder. With
its five speeds and torque converter it is a very simple unit to use.

Everything is taken care of by the electronic
control unit. This makes a direct contribution to
safety as it frees the driver to concentrate on
the road conditions and ensure that the
schoolchildren in his charge arrive at their
destination safely.

Obviously, no schoolbus can be compromised
by a braking system that is anything less than
superb. The Irisbus "Scolabus 24" benefits from
years of development expertise by Iveco
engineers.
The full air system benefits from a front axle
having disc brakes carefully matched to drum
brakes at the rear.

Passenger comfort is assured by the Irisbus
"Scolabus 24" riding easily on full air
suspension for both axles. Not only does this
isolate the occupants from much of the worst
of the road surfaces but it also offers protection
to body and chassis components thereby
contributing to reduced operating costs.

The strength of the "Scolabus 24" lies in its tough, "C" section chassis
frame. Made from high tensile steel, it provides the integrity and
reassurance that is so fundamental to the peace of mind of operators
in this safety sensitive area.
