USA - At the annual American Bus Association (ABA) marketplace event held in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, last month, Temsa North America Inc (TNAI) displayed the TS30 30-foot (31.1ft) integral coach model it is reintroducing to the North American market after an absence of two years.

Deniz Cetin, country manager for Temsa North America Inc, which is a new organisation set up some 18 months ago and based in Orlando, Florida, said the new model has been reintroduced following a major upgrade with details to specifically meet fleet operator requests. For instance, it has increased luggage capacity by some 35%, Cetin indicated. It has the latest low emission rear-mounted diesel driveline featuring the Cummins B3000 6.7-litre six-cylinder 187kW (250hp) engine coupled to the Eaton Procision automated manual transmission. Standard safety features include ABS, ASR and ESP with engine compartment fire extinguisher system. It has front kneeling and body lifting system as standard and new front- and rear design with LED headlights and indicator lights front and rear. The step heights are lower to incorporate a fourth step for easier access.
