Construction features

Body is semi-self-supporting with frame and engine with manual gearbox in the rear part. Only rear axle is propulsed. Front axle is independent, rear axle is solid. All axles are mounted on air suspension. On the right side are two doors. Between the axles underneath the bodywork is luggage compartment volume of 3.5 m³. Hot water heating is efficient at temperatures lower than 0 °C, however, the problem of the whole bus is heat. Difficulties are also vented at high temperatures, since the sliding parts are located in only two windows on the right side and three on the left. Airstream ventilation from two fans can not effectively exchange air. Seats for passengers are spaced as 2 + 2 with the central aisle. Drivers cab is not separated from the rest of the vehicle.
