Iveco EuroRider

The Iveco EuroRider, type 391, is a bus and coach chassis that Iveco Bus supplies to specialist coachbuilders, who fit their own bodies on it for city, intercity and touring service. It has been built since 2001, in Italy and also in Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and Australia, although not every version is made in every plant, since the mix follows local demand. Two layouts exist: a two axle 4x2 chassis for urban, intercity and touring vehicles between 10 and 13 metres long, and a longer three axle 6x2 chassis for long distance coaches of up to 14.5 metres. Photographs in the French article show it carrying bodies by Van Hool and Beulas. The EuroRider continues a tradition that goes back to Fiat, which has supplied bare chassis to outside coachbuilders since the first vehicles of 1899 and built its first complete bus, the Fiat 603 S, in 1925.
