Stuttgart / Dietmannsried – By buying two ComfortClass 500 coaches, Arnold Reisen GmbH shows its faith in the Setra brand. The family firm which was founded in the Allgäu region in 1927 has used buses of all Setra model series. The S 515 HD equipped with 40 seats and the S 516 HD with 48 travel seats both represent a high level of comfort, safety and economy. With their modern driver assistance systems, the touring coaches, which also feature flashing LED lamps when the luggage compartments are open, boast the most up-to-date safety technology.

Walter Arnold, the managing director of the third generation of the family firm, is pleased at the increasing numbers of passengers: "For us, the coach is the most environmentally friendly, the most comfortable and the safest form of transport that also promotes social contact. We're confident that coach travel will prevail in the long run in these difficult corona times, partly thanks to high Setra quality." For Walter Arnold, the ultra-modern climate control systems are very important, as they guarantee a high proportion of fresh air in the coach while on the road.

Altogether, Arnold Reisen GmbH has 18 buses in its all-Setra fleet. Also, the company acquired one S 415 UL business, which is used on local regular-service bus routes in the Kempten region.
