Torsus unveils its next generation off-road bus

Torsus has unveiled the next generation of its flagship Praetorian off-road bus. A raft of more than 50 new technical updates and options ramp up the Praetorian’s ability to travel on the toughest terrains and comfortably transport up to 35 occupants.

Underneath the vehicle’s polymeric exterior body, which features an extreme protective polyurea top coating, sits an extensively uprated chassis and suspension system. The ‘silent blocks’ that support the brackets providing the connection between the vehicle’s Man chassis and the superstructure have been upgraded. The new blocks provide better comfort and articulation and keep road noise and vibration to a minimum.

The heart of the off-road bus is its six-cylinder, 6.9-litre diesel engine, which dispenses 1150NM of torque in a range of 1,200 to 1,750rpm. This unit distributes its pulling power through a Man 12-speed Tipmatic ZF AStronic transmission and a heavy-duty 4×4 off-road drivetrain.
