Leyland’s JanBus is the new way to travel

Since the time it was launched in 2013, the JanBus has been replacing the old buses as the mode of public transport in several Indian cities. It has brought a new feel in the way people travel and has garnered immense popularity among the urban population.

Ashok Leyland is a company trusted by millions of its users and it has found resonance of that trust by the government too. The JanBus, unveiled at the 2013 Auto and Utility Expo, has been sanctioned by the government under its JNNURM scheme to run as public bus in multiple cities. The low-floor buses are specially designed to assist senior and handicapped citizens, who previously found it difficult to board the buses having high and steep stairs.

Performance

It is perfectly customized to run on busy and congested city roads. As such, fuel efficiency and environment friendly emission is extremely important. The H series 6 cylinder CNG MPFi engine perfectly meets the BS-IV emission norms. The engine is capable of producing 235 Bhp power and 720 Nm torque at its maximum capacity. The 6 speed synchromesh gearbox with LEYMATIC automated manual transmission makes it a joy to drive. The full air suspension with anti-roll bar and double-acting telescopic shock absorbers at front and rear ensure that the vehicle can tackle the bumpiest roads with relative ease and comfort.

The Build and the Interiors

It is, however, the build that makes it stand apart from the crowd. With a uniform floor at 650 mm height, this bus is easy to board for everyone. The floor is uniform and bereft of any steps from the driver’s area to the extreme rear, making it convenient to move inside the vehicle. It is 12 metres long and can carry more passengers than other vehicles in the same segment. With five possible exit points to choose from, it is a perfect vehicle for public transport in cities. It also offers an infotainment unit with a screen at the front coupled with speakers at strategic points which ensure that the passengers can be informed or entertained. The seats are comfortable offering high back support and there is also ample leg space for every passenger.

Driver’s Space

It is not often that auto manufacturers think about the comfort and convenience of the driver. However, the JanBus is an exception in this case too. With an ergonomically designed and an adjustable driver’s seat, it ensures that the driver experiences supreme comfort. A front and a rear close circuit camera help the driver navigate the blind spot and not leave anything to chance.

This is one vehicle that has revolutionized the way people commute on public modes of transport. Running on busy city roads all day can be taxing for any vehicle and that is why BP Auto Spares India is always ready with Leyland spare parts and other Leyland parts in case any JanBus needs it on an urgent basis.
