Focus on peopleWelcome to the Setra family

We have been committed to excellence in coach building for

100 years. And it was 60 years ago that a great idea for our

integral body and frame took of f, and is still successful today.

Right from the star t, this innovation was backed by a clear, uncompromis-

ing goal: every aspect of a Setra is to be Best in Class. This has remained

unchanged over the years.

Back then, just like today, this means more than simply constructing the

best coach technically possible. Instead, we focus our attention, first

and foremost, on people for every new development: on your passengers,

your driver and of course on you as an entrepreneur.

Today, this approach results in coaches that make travelling an expe-

rience in itself. Buses that win the enthusiasm of th eir drivers, motivate

them and even instil them with pride. And not least of all, vehicles that

constitute a positive investment for you as an entrepreneur. This also will

remain so in the future.

Setra TopClass the art of travellingThe ideal combination of comfort and high-tech

Setra TopClass provides the most impressive example

of our philosophy of every coach being Best in

Class. A statement that TopClass is able to

communicate even at a distance: La Linea, a brilliantly

metallic design element, completely distinguishes the bus

and puts it in a unique league all its own. However, the

excellent reputation of Setra TopClass is ultimately based

on its inner values, of which it has a lot to offer.

Infinitely comfortable.Timeless elegance coupled with a touch of luxury is

seamlessly reproduced in the TopClass interior. The

languages of shape and materials are marked by high

quality and first-rate craftsmanship. The comfort of the

features ranges from top-quality seats and state-of-the-

art multimedia components all the way to the TopSky

glass roof, which imparts a definitive feeling of space.

Always custom-made.

We have worked hard to be able to tailor your TopClass to

suit your wishes, just like made-to -measure apparel. With

six model variations to choose from, you are sure to find

one that precisely meets your requirements. Add to this a

one-of-a- kind portfolio of individual features and a wide

selection of various materials. From individual details to

exclusive special wishes: whatever your expectations, our

solutions can make them happen.

Setting an example in safety.

It is reassuring to know that TopClass is always

equipped with the most advanced technology in terms of

its safety concept and that drivers, tour guides and

passengers are optimally integrated in this concept. In

addition to the standard *Front Collision Guard (FCG),

Active Brake Assist (ABA), for example, as well as othermanoeuvring assistance systems are available. The

modern lighting technology also contributes to making

TopClass a shining example in this category with regard

to safety.

A whole service life of economy.

As an entrepreneur, safety is also important to you in

terms of economic considerations. As we are aware of

this, we have done our all to make TopClass excel with a

particularly economical life cycle cost. Moreover, the

high-quality materials and craftsmanship that go into the

vehicles ensure optimum earning opportunities and

exemplary retention of value. Which ultimately leads to

excellent overall cost-efficiency: quality you can count

on.

Comfort | 13

Comfort comes firstThe very best conditions for the driver

The comfort of your passengers also depends on how re laxed and

concentrated your driver is while on the road. We have therefore

taken on the challenge of designing his workplace to be as

comfortable, ergonomic and functional as possible. The spacious and

modern cockpit as well as the first- rate drivers seat, which can be

adjusted with precision and also permits relaxed sitting that is easy on

the back even on long hauls, ser ve as the perfect basis.

Many well thought through details for the cockpit help ensure the

utmost in comfort. The exterior rear view mirrors, which fold back at

the press of a but ton if the way becomes narrow, are just one of many

examples. To make sure that your driver always has a clear view of not

only the road but also c ritical vehicle information, TopClass is equipped

with an innovative 3D combination instrument. It alerts to open covers

or doors, among other things, and includes a travel computer and fuel

consumption indicator.

The adjustable multifunction steering wheel makes it possible to set

many functions with ease at the press of a button while a separate

climate control system contributes greatly to the drivers level of

comfort. And not least importantly, the separate cockpit door makes

entering the TopClass conveniently easy and pleasant.

As you like it

TopClass multifunction steering wheel adapts precisely to suit the driver in terms of height and length.

18 | Safety

The feeling of having the best possible protectionOur holistic approach to safety

Discovering cultures, encountering new people,

enjoying breathtaking landscapes these are

moments charged with emotion for your

passengers. With a Setra TopClass, you give them that

good feeling of being safe on the road. This has been

made possible with holistic safety concepts whose

elements are interlinked across all vehicle components.

These include a whole range of active and passive

systems which support the driver and minimise the

consequences if worse comes to worst and an accident

happens.

Making driving easier.

For example, with an ergonomic cockpit design for the

utmost in operating comfort plus innovative assistance

systems such as the retarder limiter (RL) and the optional

adaptive cruise control (ACC).

Improving perception.

Modern mirror systems, powerful lighting systems such as

Litronic Xenon lights and automatic cornering lamp

increase the high protection potential as do the light and

rain sensors.

Supporting reactions.

For instance, the Electronic Stability Programme

(ESP) considerably reduces the risk of skidding, while

the anti-blocking system (ABS), retarder and traction

control system (TCS) ensure safe braking and starting.

In addition, Active Brake Assist (ABA) und Lane Change

Assistant (LCA) provide the driver with optimum support

in critical situations.

Minimising damages.

The TopClass integrated roll bars make for a passenger

compartment that can withstand great impact. The

Front Collision Guard (FCG)* offers the best possible

protection for the driver and attendant.

The cornering lamp

At speeds of less than 4 0 km/h, the fog

spotlights automatically convert to

cornering lamps and illuminate curves

with a reflector; this is dependent on

the indicators, position of the steering

wheel and speed.

The Lane Change Assistant (LCA)

continuously measures the lateral

distance to the lane markings and

alerts the driver by means of a

vibration in the seat if he/she leaves

the correct lane.

The retarder limiter (RL)

prevents the vehicle from accelerating

to speeds exceeding the permissible

limit of 100 km/h when going downhill

and thus effectively stabilises the

speed.

More protection when it is necessaryBy far the best distance to keep

The greatest possible safety for your driver is a

special priority at Setra. The more effective the

protection and support of the driver is, the safer it

is too for all other occupants of the bus on the road.

For instance, the adaptive cru ise control (ACC) relieves

your driver by automatically maintaining a set distance

to the vehicle in front on the basis of continuous

measurements. On roads and motorways this boostsnot only safety but also comfort. If the bus comes

closer than the specified distance, Active Br ake Assist

(ABA) goes into action. It initiates automatic braking of

the vehicle and, if the driver fails to respond to the

visual and acoustic system alerts, performs emergency

braking.

If despite these measures a head-on collisi on is

inevitable, the Front Collision Guard* (FCG) realises its

protection potential by providing a protected area for

the driver and attendant.

It is reassuring to have modern systems such as these

on board.

*FCG included with S 431 DT and Right-hand drive vehicles

Safety | 21

The optional adaptive cruise control

(ACC) ensures that a constant

distance is maintained to the vehicle in

front, while Active Brake Assist (ABA)

automatically causes emergency

braking if the minimum distance is not

kept.

The Front Collision Guard (FCG)*

provides increased safety in the front

section of the vehicle as well as

underride protection in the event of a

head-on collision. Its absorber

structure converts the impact of the

crash into deformation energy.

At the same time, the cockpit is

pushed toward the rear.

The right choice, definitelyThis is where to find the TopClass that suits you

S 415 HD 12-metre class: The only thing standard about the S 415 HD is itsproven length otherwise it remains in a class all its own. The ideal vehicle for a

wide range of different applications: whether an excursion or a luxury trip.

22 | Economy Variations

S 411 HD Compact: Measuring 10.10 metres in length, this typical club bus isjust right for small, exclusive groups and turns them into lucrative customers. An

ideal addition to your fleet.

In addition to other aspects, size is a consideration in whether a coach

more precisely its capacity and features suit your specific purposes,

the faster it will pay for itself. With six practice-orientated variations,

TopClass offers you a wide range of choices.

No matter which variation you opt for: every single one of them excels

with a favourable price/performance ratio, fair investment costs per seat,

economical operating and maintenance costs and a high level of

operational readiness. If you also include the high resale value in your

calculations, you will scarcely find an alternative with a better bottom line.
