Acx1688, thanks for the compliments! Both the CNGT and VSTO needed 3-axles to work. And yes, both buses are designed to be wheelchair friendly! For the VSTO, There's even a built-in wheelchair elevator in the second carriage, for easy wheelchair access! Stay tuned for more picsOriginally posted by Acx1688:[quote]Originally posted by Volvo_Volgren:
[b]Another design concept: Volvo CNG turbo
Performance: A mixture of Volvo's CNG chassis and brake system, Scania's 113 enchanced intercooler engine power, Dennis superb roadholding, MB's ride quality. The best of all worlds....
V V Nice pix! but does it need 3axles? is it low floor bus? -
Here it is! Introducing the higher-end VSTO, the VSTO+ -
Eh?....Why 4 axles?
-
i wonder if someone can create an articulated minibus
-
ahh~!! no..what i meant was the back of the first carriage should have two axles adjacent to each other. just like the present DDs. your latest design might have a lot of trouble making sharp turns like that.Originally posted by Volvo_Volgren:

Try not to stretch your bus too long or else difficult for BC to maneuver, result only few svcs will have the bus, in addition, the rear portion should not be too long or it will cause the bus to 'jack-knife!'

I cant imagine the bus snap in the middle of the road

Hi there,Originally posted by sErviCe17rOx:to Volvo_Volgren:
the middle should still have two axles. this is to support the weight of the trailer. the jumbocruiser also has 4 axles altogether.
please see my websites for more double decker artic action:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/jumbocruiser/
http://jumbocruiser.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk
on there you will see 4-axle double decker neoplan artics, 10 with single axle trailers (2 in middle) and 1 with a twin axle trailer (single fron, single middle, twin rear!).
you will also find photos of 2 (now deceased!) Berkhof 3000 HDA double decker artics of the same axle layout as the last described neoplan.
additionallly, there are loads of phots of the one and only Berkhof 2000HDA, superhigh decker(seats above driver), with double decker trailer. This one has single front, single middle, single rear axles (like the design pictured above)
Please join our group and share any photos you have of interesting coaches.
