The company has two low floor air conditioned prototypes undergoing tests in Bangkok at the moment to consider the best engine, drive train and seating options for Bangkok duty cycles. These are expected to be finalized in time for next month’s launch.
The buses will be available to bus operators with structured finance packages in place that the company says will produce savings in the first month of operation. Foton Thailand will also offer a three year unlimited parts and labor warranty which will include consumables such as engine oil and fluids (coolant, brake fluid, transmission oil) and air, oil and fuel filters.
As well as launching the bus at ANGVA 2007 next month, the company has also signed on as a key sponsor of the event, saying that they wanted to demonstrate a serious commitment to bringing their product to market and to position themselves as leaders in the industry.
