Otokar Navigo 185 SE

Functional CHANGESSome aesthetic retouchs but also

functional changes intere-sted the 7.7-meter Otokar. We start from the front that leaves the square lines for a more attractive look, with a sha-ped band under the windscreen, flanked by diagonal headlights and recessed lights in the bumper. A similar design also for the rear window in the rear head while the lights are now perfectly vertically aligned.The first functional change on the Navigo SE

is the rear lugga-ge tailgate (the engine is mounted horseback on the front axle). In order to facili-tate loading, the tailgate has been lowered down to level with the in-side floor, and it includes both the bumper as well as the space for the vehicle plate.Most of the re-maining improvements are dedicated to the driver. The location was completely redesig-ned with curved lines, with a dashboard who-se central part advances toward the driver and

Not only aesthetic in the upgrading of the Navigo by Otokar. More exploitable the rear luggage compartment

and a whole new location for the driver

includes cd/radio player, digital tachograph, push-buttons (now horizontal), multi-function display (for navigation and rear view camera) and climate controllers. Changes have been made also to the main framework that is now horizontally developed to raise the position of the central display (more visible), flanked by the usual analogical running instruments. To increase its beauty, burgundy leatherette has been used to cover the dashboard and also the steering wheel, the seat headrests and the cei-ling that incorporates the front video.

The internal layout equipment remains unchan-ged. The racks are complete with personal sets, reclining seats, Konvekta air conditioning from 12 kW, pre-heater, refrigerator from 40 liters and so on. Traction is entrusted to the Cummins engine from 185 hp coupled to the manual Eaton tran-smission or the automatic Allison. The suspen-sions may be either mechanical or pneumatic. Offered in intercity or tourist version, the Na-vigo 185 SE is marketed in Italy by the Mauri Bus System at around 130 thousand euros. •
