AVIOR Touring Bus Launched in Russia With 150 HP Diesel Engine

AVIOR Touring Bus Launches in Russia

AVIOR Touring Bus has been launched in Russia as a new commercial passenger vehicle aimed at combining compact exterior dimensions with a practical 12-person seating capacity. The commercial vehicle manufacturer announced the new Touring Bus on August 12, adding a model designed for passenger transport while retaining a relatively low gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg. The vehicle measures 5,940 × 2,062 × 2,535 mm and uses a 3,760 mm wheelbase. With a curb weight of 2,700 kg, the bus provides a compact footprint while offering space for 11 passengers and one driver, making its configuration suited to commercial passenger transportation requirements in the Russia market.

Powertrain and Passenger Configuration

The powertrain combines a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering 150 hp. This configuration gives the vehicle a conventional diesel propulsion system with a manual gearbox, while the stated dimensions and weight position it within a relatively compact commercial vehicle format. Passenger seating is arranged across four rows in a 2+2+3+3 layout, allowing the vehicle to accommodate 11 passengers in addition to the driver. The arrangement balances passenger capacity with the bus's compact dimensions and provides a clearly defined seating configuration for operators considering the model for commercial passenger services. The launch expands the AVIOR commercial vehicle offering in the Russian market.

Active Safety Features

Safety equipment is a notable part of the new bus specification, with several active driver-assistance and vehicle-control functions included. The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Program, Hill Start Assist and Lane Departure Warning, alongside Forward Collision Warning that can detect pedestrians and cyclists. Automatic Emergency Braking is also included, adding an active intervention capability intended to help reduce the severity or likelihood of certain forward collisions. Together, these systems give the new model a broader active-safety package than basic vehicle-control equipment alone, supporting safer operation for passenger transport applications in Russia. The combination of these technologies highlights AVIOR's focus on active vehicle safety.
