Guru Ram Dass Body Builders
Guru Ram Dass Body Builders displayed the 12 m luxury semi-sleeper G-Dolfino bus built on a front-engine Bharat-Benz 1623 chassis. Showcasing the company’s ability to offer fully customised solutions to the customer, the G-Dolfino, targeting customers across India, highlighted multiple seating options including a 43-seater (41+D+Attendant) with calf support arrangement, a 47-seater (45+D+Attendant) arrangement without calf support and a 43-seater (41+D+Attendant) arrangement with passenger toilet. Could also be had on a Ashok Leyland or a VE Commercial Vehicle bus chassis, the design addresses the needs and specifications of the customers, according to Mayank Kukreja, CEO, GRD. “We have been continuously producing and fabricating buses and coaches that are functionally and mechanically superior,” he added. Stating that the G-Dolfino’s design is inspired by the Dolphin, Ashok Kalsi, Head - Research & Development, recreated the bus. It nicely integrates various surfaces to remind of the smooth skin and silhouette of the Dolphin. He drew attention to the U-shaped design, which integrates the tail lamp cluster akin to a Dolphin’s tail fin. The U-shaped bottom area of the glass and the lip, he explained, add to the premium feel of the bus.
