New buses for Bavarian transport hub
MAN Truck & Bus Deutschland and AeroGround Flughafen München GmbH have signed a framework agreement for the delivery of 46 regular-service buses that will be used to transport airline passengers at Munich’s Franz Josef Strauß Airport. The order will be delivered in three batches by 2014.
Drugs, road safety and unrealistic expectations
Drugs, road safety and the unrealistic expectations of the Consumer Protection Act were among the issues discussed at the CSIR Conference Centre recently, as DANIELLE DU TOIT reports in the first of her two-part review of SABOA’s 2012 national conference.

A main sponsor of the national conference of the Southern African Bus Operators’ Association (SABOA) for the last three years, and an active participant since its first conference 10 years ago, MAN sees this event as more than just another function.

Infallible Irizar
Driven by passion for people, the environment and the latest, market-leading technologies, Irizar is one of those companies that moves with the times – and from strength to strength.
Giant achievement
When two giants of industry meet they make a product to be reckoned with. That’s what happened when the Volvo B12R MKll bus chassis met the Marcopolo Paradiso G7 DD Coach body.
