CITYLIFE diesel bus is here

JBM Auto Ltd launched the diesel version of its ultra-low-floor luxurious bus CITYLIFE at Auto Expo 2016 on Monday. The bus was launched by Nishant Arya, Executive Director, JBM Group in the presence of SK Arya, Chairman, JBM Group.

The bus has been designed keeping in mind Indian traffic and weather conditions. Some features of the bus include a monocoque structure to ensure maximum strength and minimum weight, matching European standards for safety in case of front/side collision and rollover accidents. The fuel tank capacity of the bus is 265 litres.

CITYLIFE Diesel has an independent front suspension (IFS) that will ensure a stress-free ride for passengers. To boost passenger safety and comfort, CITYLIFE Diesel will have cantilever seats and armrests, ensuring more room for standing passengers.

Speaking after the launch, Nishant Arya, Executive Director, JBM Group said, “CITYLIFE CNG has received a good response from the market and we are going to deliver the first tranche very soon. However, we have witnessed numerous enquiries for a diesel bus with the same comfort of CITYLIFE CNG as CNG is not available in all cities.”

“Our new offering CITYLIFE Diesel is to meet this demand. This bus has inherited all the safety and comfort specifications of CITYLIFE,” he added. The vehicle will be manufactured at the company’s manufacturing facility in Kosi, Uttar Pradesh.
