Setra S 418 LE business test vehicle

  • Low-entry inter-city #bus available in three lengths
  • OM 470 with 265 kW (360 hp): powerful with low consumption
  • Flexibility is the key: four transmission variants available
  • Practically equipped, air-conditioned passenger compartment

The three-axle #setra S 418 LE business test vehicle is painted pure white and is 14.6-m long. The inter-city #bus is powered by a six-cylinder inline OM 470 engine which delivers a maximum output of 265 kW (360 hp) at 1800 rpm from a displacement of 10.7 l. Its maximum torque of 1700 Nm is already available at 1100 rpm. The vehicle is equipped with a ZF Ecolife AP six-speed automatic transmission.

The rear axle ratio of i = 5.222 allows the Euro VI engine to run at a speed of around 1698 rpm at a vehicle speed of 100 km/h in sixth gear.

Low-entry inter-city #bus available in three lengths

In addition to the two-axle S 415/416 LE business models, #setra has now extended its offering of low-entry inter-city buses with the S 418 LE business #bus. The 14.6-m long vehicle, designed with a low floor that stretches beyond the rear entrance and a level entry without steps, is powered by an efficient six-cylinder OM 470 engine which is available in the output categories 265 kW (360 hp) and 290 kW (394 hp). The six-speed GO 210 manual transmission is installed as standard. The S 418 LE business impresses with its high seating capacity – depending on the version there are seats for more than 60 passengers. Thus the #setra meets the requirements of very busy inter-city routes.

Flexibility is the key: four transmission variants available

Bus companies can choose between four transmission variants in the #setra LE business. The six-speed GO 190 or 210 manual transmission is installed as standard. The ZF Ecolife six-speed automatic torque converter transmission, the fully-automated eight-speed GO 250-8 PowerShift manual transmission and the Voith Diwa.6 four-speed automatic transmission are available on request. The vehicle's drivetrain can be further adapted to specific operations with various axle ratios.

Practically equipped, air-conditioned passenger compartment

In the test vehicle, 51 passengers can sit on the comfortable "Setra Transit" passenger seats that are upholstered in "Dorint, black azur" fabric. The roof-mounted EvoCool Comfort air conditioning system with a cooling output of 39 kW provides for a pleasant climate in the interior even in summer temperatures.
