An update for Setra touring coaches: more economical, digital, safer.
approx.
Extensive technical optimisations for the entire coach portfolio.
Setra touring coaches have always been characterised by excellent profitability and outstanding reliability combined with the highest standards of comfort and safety. Setra has now undergone a comprehensive technological update of its portfolio and further developed the touring coaches: numerous optimisations have been made from the engines and drivetrain to the electronics architecture and the cockpit.
More efficient engines and modern transmissions.
A new generation of engines is used in the TopClass and ComfortClass touring coaches as well as the Setra S 531 DT double‑decker. The perfectly coordinated interaction of the six‑cylinder in‑line engines with the automated manual transmission ZF TraXon 2 Coach or the automatic transmission ZF EcoLife CoachLine reduces diesel consumption by four percent for the OM470 and by up to six percent for the OM471. AdBlue consumption is also significantly reduced depending on the selected engine variant - by up to nine percent at the top. In addition, the technical prerequisites for the regulatory requirements of the future Euro VII standard are already being delivered. European regulations on noise emissions are already being met.

Our objective was to significantly improve profitability, comfort and safety at the same time.
New services and better ride comfort.
The introduction of a new electronics architecture will also further improve the profitability of Setra touring coaches. This gives fleet operators access to state‑of‑the‑art digital services from OMNIplus ON - among other things, the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive is expanded to include intelligent and networked navigation functions. The Navigation Services Package is made available via the OMNIplus ON Portal after activation. In addition, the electronics architecture creates the prerequisite for even more driving comfort and safety on board the buses.
The optimised electronics architecture works together with the digital services from OMNIplus ON to ensure even greater safety and driving comfort.
Safety and assistance systems at a new level.
The extensive safety and assistance systems on board Setra touring coaches are also being upgraded. Depending on the vehicle, new safety features will be available or updated. Active Drive Assist 2 (ADA 2), Active Cross Traffic Assist, Active Sideguard Assist 3 and electronic Park Brake Control (ePBC) are being expanded and refined at the same time. Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) is now also available for other model series. The interplay of the safety and assistance systems increases safety and ride comfort in equal measure. In addition, the further improved systems contribute to an economical driving style and thus reduce the Total Costs of Ownership (TCO).
The Multimedia Cockpit Interactive as a digital control centre.
The Multimedia Cockpit Interactive intelligently networks the vehicle, its surroundings and the driver, and new functions simplify the driver’s daily work. Numerous physical switches can be replaced by intelligent digital control elements. For example, many functions can be controlled intuitively via the optimised touchscreen, whereby frequently used functions can be assigned as buttons as usual. Another new feature is that selected features can be conveniently activated by voice command, while an individually configurable favourites menu offers direct access to frequently used functions. In conjunction with a newly designed multifunction steering wheel, the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive turns the driver cockpit into a networked control centre.
The Multimedia Cockpit Interactive and the new multifunction steering wheel make the daily work of the drivers much easier.
