Unveiled: the Magelys HDH, a new Gran Turismo bus in
the Iveco Irisbus range
Yesterday the international press got their first glimpse of the Magelys HDH,
the latest addition to the Irisbus Iveco Gran Turismo Irisbus range. With its
three axles, a length of 13.80 m and a height of 3.81, it really is the pride of
the fleet.
The Magelys HDH is a high version of the vehicle launched two years ago to
meet the many needs of Gran Turismo transport companies. The Magelys
HD, offered in two different lengths (12.20 m, 12.80 m) and a height of 3.62
m, is the official Juventus FC team bus.
The idea is based on the principle that a bus trip should never be simply a
means of transporting passengers from A to B. A bus should offer a space
that makes long road and motorway journeys a satisfying and safe
experience for all in the greatest comfort, where the pleasure of interacting
with others is combined with respect for individual needs.
The distinctive features of the Magelys are skilfully expressed in its exclusive
design, a crucial differentiating aspect that reinforces the premium vocation of
this bus. Inside and outside, stylistic motifs blend form and function
harmoniously to create a dimension of timeless elegance.
To confirm the great attention devoted to passengers, the thing that most
strikes you about the interior is firstly the amount of light and openness to the
outside world – and secondly the beautifully blended materials and colours,
subtly recreating the relaxing and stress-free atmosphere of a lounge where
you can enjoy some time with your friends.
The great feeling of space and transparency that reigns aboard the Magelys
is guaranteed by oceans of glass on the side connection panels (standard
equipment) and a central roof window (an option) that can increase the tinted
glass surface area to 65% more than that on an ordinary bus, thus increasing
the visibility and light.
One of Iveco Irisbus’s greatest concerns when designing the Magelys was to
meet safety requirements with as broad a margin as possible. Passive safety
is guaranteed by the sturdy body structure, which ensures a survival space in
the event of rollover in accordance with the provisions of European directive

R66, and also by the general accident-proof design of the passenger
compartment.
The Magelys is produced in the Irisbus Iveco plant in Annonay, France and is
particularly eco-friendly with its Euro 5 engine (EEV optional) with selective
catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The engine is a mighty six-cylinder
Iveco Cursor 10 engine with a power rating of 330 kW (450 HP) that ensures
excellent hourly averages over long distances.
