Kneeling to boarding side ensures more comfortable boarding and alighting for passengers at the stop. When the driver presses the kneeling button or, if automatic is preselected, the door button, the vehicle is lowered to a preset height on the boarding side. Part of the air escapes from the air spring bellows and the vehicle tilts towards the passenger.

One-sided lowering (kneeling) can be initiated automatically by opening the passenger doors, either via the kneeling button on the instrument panel or after activation with the pre-selection button. When the kneeling button is operated, the positions of the doors are taken into account. If the kneeling pre-selector switch is activated, the vehicle is lowered automatically via the “open door” signal to the boarding side and the doors open simultaneously. The driver can carry out an emergency lift with one button.

For long-haul applications, we will be happy to equip your vehicle for handicapped access as per ECE R 107 - on request. Using the extra-wide rear entry (115 cm) and the wheelchair ramp, passengers with reduced mobility can comfortably enter the coach.
