During a recent trip to Iceland I spotted this. Never seen one before. Is it a lorry chassis with a coach body or what?
Anyone any idea?
You would need a bus licence to drive it. I imagine that it left the factory as a rolling chassis and cab. I sometimes drive a Merc ARtego with a 34 seat body nailed down on top of it. The Royal Mail have them as seven and a half tonners.
Have you ever seen the truck busses in Norway? Front end is a bus with a box body on back. Got some pictures somewhere
They call them Brucks (kombibuss in Norway); they have them in Canada too.
They have Merc and MAN based coaches as well as other Scanias,

If nothing else it proves that all rear engine bus development was a flawed solution to a non existent problem.

And people think MAN rigid’s have a horrendous turning circle, that must take 500 shunts on a football field to turn it round.
Looks very odd to be fair I have to say.
Oh and as said its a rigid with more than 8 seats so yes PCV well over here at least.
there was me to interested that i was almost booking a holiday flight to iceland,then i thought to meself,why bother when i can google different pics and see what it looks like that way from the comfort of my couch.
saved myself a fortune.
apparently just by googling the company and not leaving the couch you can see all the coaches as they call them and all the spec.
aint internet search engines a wonderful thing.
all you need to know at a click of a button with masses of pictures.
they call them coaches,but list them under trucks…dont know where the lorry part comes in.

Looks like it has rear steer which will help dramatically. You could turn the 15m coaches on a relative sixpence but you just had to be extremely wary of the tailswing which is horrendous and could take out a lamp post miles away

Is it a rear steer rigid or is that a lift axle ?

I’d suspect a rear steer.
Thanks for the replies guys. Love that old Skoda artic. FYI DD999 I posted the photo because I thought it might have been of interest to others. Turns out it was! I was also interested if any others had seen one. Yes I could have googled about it. I also went to a motorcycle museum amongst many other places but maybe I should have stayed at home and googled Iceland.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
theres absolutely nothing wrong with posting a pic of a specialised truck/bus/lorry though the question of you just happening to be in iceland to take it remains questionable by the standards of your usual fantasy posting pish.
there will no doubt by law of average someone on here who might think you were in iceland,but if i was you,id be sitting at home googling the answers to the questions you got asked on that other fantasy drivvle about when you were meant to be in the army.
surprisingly,you havent jumped back in to get your usual last word there yet.
tinterweb a bit slow this morning?
I was in Iceland. You find that pic on Google and I will stop believing you have a warped mind.
Regarding the army I have never ever said I was in the army.
Try getting your facts correct before posting nonsense.
That’s a coincidence, I also visited Iceland this week, AND I saw a few buses.
I was stocking up for a week away,…their ready made Indian curries are just like the real thing.

shave my legs and call me smoothie for thinking such an unbelievable thing.
