English   World premiere of the new Setra coaches
09.07.2012 von admin


Amongst the most clearly visible new features on the ComfortClass 500 are the re-designed front headlamps with LED daytime running lights and H7 dipped beam as standard. The newly developed reflectors ensure higher levels of safety due to better illumination of the road ahead.

A distinctive element on the sides of the vehicle is the dynamically sweeping beltline, which incorporates the three-dimensional brand emblem with the shiny silver Setra logo and acts as a support for the striking C-pillar. The downward lines in the area around the engine compartment serve to visually accentuate the new drive train. The 'aero tail' also adds to the new look of the ComfortClass 500.

Aerodynamic styling for greater fuel economy

The 20 percent reduction in drag is a significant factor in terms of lowering fuel consumption by up to five percent. With the new 'aero tail' and a number of other details, the ComfortClass 500 achieves a drag coefficient of 0.33, an outstanding figure yet to be beaten in the industry. The engineers have restyled the front section of the ComfortClass 500 with larger radii on the roof vent. The A-pillar has also been re-designed to considerably reduce the loss of flow at the front and ensure that the air flows over this part of the vehicle body. This is also helped by the fact that the previously rectangular profile of the mirror arm has a more aerodynamic shape on the new vehicles. The aerodynamics engineers have also made a few pioneering changes to the rear section.
