Neoplan Jumbocruiser

The Neoplan Jumbocruiser is an articulated double-deck multi-axle city coach built by Neoplan Bus GmbH between 1975 and 1992. It is 18 metres long, 2.5 metres wide and 4 metres high, and was designed to carry 170 passengers. It was first manufactured in 1975 but never went into full-scale production, and the encyclopedia infobox counts eleven built. One coach, fitted with comfortable seating for 80 passengers, ran a route from Belgium to Spain and covered about 160,000 km before a rollover accident. It was later rebuilt in England by a company called Jumbocruiser Ltd, with a new dashboard, upgraded engine, gearbox and brakes, and was marketed as a sleeper bus for touring musicians. The production double-decker that followed it was the Neoplan Megaliner.
