TATA ULTRA Standard, School and Luxury buses will soon run on Sri Lankan roads making commuting more comfortable and safer, officials of Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) revealed.
DIMO together with TATA Motors recently launched the 34 seater ‘ ULTRA Standard Bus’, ‘ ULTRA School Bus’ and the 29 seater ‘ ULTRA Luxury AC Bus’ in Sri Lanka.
Launching the two new ULTRA Bus models, Rudrarup Maitra, Head of (Sales), International Business, Commercial Vehicle Business Unit, TATA Motors Ltd, said, “These ULTRA buses have been designed for intra- city as well as inter- city transport”.
Ranjith Pandithage, Chairman and Managing Director, DIMO said “The TA- TA ULTRA buses are going to change the way Sri Lanka commutes in the coming years. With a range of more than 100 products, our endeavour is to meet all customer requirements by providing products which are built to suit specific applications.”
To make travel more comfortable, pushback seats with up to 135 degree recline, wide arm and foot rests are provided in the bus without compromising on the rear and side luggage boot space.
Additionally the bus also comes with LCD screen fitment and a CD / DVD player on request, media release issued by the company said.
The school variant on the other hand is equipped with 25 safety features along with various comfort features for children. With wider track axle and lowest in class turning radius, the vehicle is stable at turns and easy to manoeuvre, it said.
The TATA ULTRA range of buses is the first in its category with a door ahead of the front axle, resulting in more seats for the same length of bus and subsequently better returns for the operator, the media release revealed.
