The IRIZAR PB – The most economical coach ever.
   
 
Germany, December 2002
By Andreas Lubritz
  • The new IRIZAR PB is right at the top competing with the elite of the coach sector.
  • As soon as you look at the coach you can tell that the design is not just an end in itself, but that it serves a purpose.
  • The bright, open structure of the driver’s cabin makes you want to sit down in it.
  • The passenger area also shows how ultramodern the IRIZAR PB is. The passengers travel in a well-lit, welcoming atmosphere.
  • The coach’s fuel, plus its perfectly adaptable propulsion and aerodynamic bodywork, allowed it to reach a test run consumption level that can only be described as INCREDIBLY ECONOMICAL. NO COACH HAS EVER reached 23.8 litres / 100 km before. And that’s not all: this consumption level is a REDUCTION OF THREE LITRES ON THE AVERAGE FOR SIMILAR COACHES.
