The new ComfortClass 400

Even more good reasons to choose

Focus on people

Welcome to the Setra family

e have been committed to excellence in coach building for 100 years. And it was 60 years ago that a great idea for our integral body and frame took off, and is still successful today. Right from the start, this innovation was backed by a clear, uncompromising goal: every aspect of a Setra is to be Best in Class. This has remained unchanged over the years. Back then, just like today, this means more than simply constructing the best coach technically possible. Instead, we focus our attention, first and foremost, on people for every new development: on your passengers, your driver and of course on you as an entrepreneur. Today, this approach results in coaches that make travelling an experience in itself. Buses that win the enthusiasm of their drivers, motivate them and even instil them with pride. And not least of all, vehicles that constitute a positive investment for you as an entrepreneur. And this also will remain so in the future.

All our expertise for the greatest possible protection

Setras comprehensive safety standard
etra has been offering the highest safety standard in coach engineering for over 50 years, with its countless innovations, well integrated solutions and consistent use of state-of-the-art technologies. The active and passive safety systems, which are closely integrated throughout all vehicle components, ensure a high level of protection in each and every Setra. They facilitate the drivers task, support him in dealing with critical situations and minimise consequences should an accident be unavoidable. Easier, safer driving. For example, thanks to the ergonomic drivers station design, high operational comfort and innovative electronic assistance systems, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ART) and Continuous Braking Limiter (DBL). Enhanced perception. For instance, with high-performance lighting systems, state-of-the-art mirrors, sensors and camera support.

Supported reaction capability. For example, with the Electronic Stability Program ESP . It helps the driver master critical situations, as do the Anti-Block System (ABS), Active Brake Assist (ABA), Lane-Assist (SPA), Retarder and the current generation of the Electronic Braking System (EBS-1C). Smart reactions can also be learned by attending OMNIplus Safety and Emergency Training programs. Minimised damage. We offer the greatest possible protection for your passengers due to our specially engineered heavy duty passenger compartment. Its unique design includes separators and protective walls and seats. In addition the Front Collision Guard (FCG) goes a long way towards protecting the driver and tour guide in the unlikely event of a collision.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ART) supports the driver for the most part on highways and rural motorways. The system is based on continuous measurement of the distance to the vehicle ahead. Active Brake Assist (ABA) is based on the Adaptive Cruise Control feature. The moment radar sensors note that a critical minimum distance to the vehicle ahead has been reached, the system automatically initiates emergency braking.

Lane Assist (SPA) permanently measures the lateral distance to lane markings and warns the driver via a vibration in the seat, should they deviate from the lane.

Even more protection potential with Front Collision Guard and cornering lights

mproved driver protection: the Front Collision Guard*. In spite of the most modern safety systems and well trained drivers, there are times when an accident cannot be prevented. In these rare instances, the Front Collision Guard* (FCG) ensures a protected space for the driver and tour guide. In the case of a frontal collision, the absorber structure transforms the impact energy into deformation energy. At the same time, the drivers area is pushed back away from the danger zone. Mastering even tight curves safely with cornering lights. For illuminating tight curves, the new ComfortClass now features standard-series cornering lights on board. This increases safety when driving in the dark, as they illuminate the road ahead when turning or in tight curves, using the coachs inside curve fog lights. In addition, under poor lighting or weather conditions, youll travel more safely and comfortably with our new rain/light sensors.

At speeds of under 40 km/h, the fog lights automatically turn into cornering lights, lighting up curves ahead with a reflector depending on indicator lights, steering wheel position and speed.

up to four percent.

Small details with big impact. With the new ComfortClass, our engineers were successful at further increasing cost-effectiveness through several smart details. For instance, weight optimisation on the rooftop air conditioning system results in fuel savings. A further example is the increased use of LED lighting technology. Their longer service life saves money and extends service intervals.

Strikingly simple and simply smart, the ComfortClass engine compartment presents a clear, well organised layout to ease maintenance and repairs. The sliding battery compartment can easily be inserted and removed.
