Offering outstanding passenger safety, Scania has just delivered two Metrolink buses to the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation for trial runs in the Indian state of Karnataka. Following several recent serious coach accidents in India, Scania has taken the lead in significantly upgrading safety-related equipment.
The Metro link buses are packed with uncompromised safety features such as a BLACK BOX , SPEED LIMIT compliant to state regulations and SIX EMERGENCY EXITS with 12 HAMMERS. A FLIGHT- LIKE SAFETY VIDEO and SAFETY LEAFLETS in each passenger seat pocket advise passengers on do’s and don’ts in emergency situations. The coaches are delivered with SCANIA’S FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ,enabling operators to monitor performance and location in real time. Operators additionally have the option of equipping the coaches with SEAT-BELTS for ALL PASSENGERS.
Launched in February 2013, the Scania Metrolink range introduces highly reliable multi-purpose coaches for medium and long distance travel in the Indian market. The buses are already operating in the Indian states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala, and have received an overwhelming response from customers and passengers. The coaches will from August this year be built locally at Scania’s new production unit in the Bangalore area.
“All our products maintain stringent global standards in terms of safety and quality,” Helmut Schwartz, Scania’s Production Director for buses and coaches, said at the handover.
