MAN Trucks India has unveiled a new CLA front-engine bus chassis. Offered in two guises – a 8.250 (4×2) and 22.300 (6×2) multi-axle, the bus chassis is powered by MAN D-0836 turbo-diesel engine that produces 250 hp and 300 hp respectively. Having high localisation levels, the bus chassis is made by MAN Trucks India at its Pithampur plant. Aimed at inter-city application, the CLA bus chassis, conforming to BSIV emission norms and equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, is claimed to be robust and tailored to withstand the tough operating conditions in the Indian sub-continent. The CV OEM has certified three leading bus body builders in India to build bodies on.
