The <strong>MultiClass</strong> 400 Low-Floor<br />
First choice for scheduled runs
With people always in the foreground<br />
Welcome to the <strong>Setra</strong> family<br />
Our commitment to building the best coaches goes back almost as<br />
far as the history of the coach itself. A first milestone was reached<br />
over 60 years ago when a breakthrough idea – the introduction of<br />
<strong>Setra</strong>’s self-supporting construction – met with great success. Still today,<br />
a passion for ongoing improvement, our long-standing experience and our<br />
exceptionally high standards of excellence continue to shape the whole<br />
coach and bus sector.<br />
Back then, just like today, this means more than simply building the best<br />
coach technically possible. Instead, we focus our attention, first and<br />
foremost, on people for every new development: on your passengers,<br />
your driver – and of course on you as an entrepreneur.<br />
Today, this approach results in coaches that make travelling an experience<br />
in itself. Buses that win the enthusiasm of their drivers, motivate<br />
them and even instil them with pride. And not least of all, vehicles that<br />
constitute a positive investment for you as an entrepreneur. This also will<br />
remain so in the future.<br />
Best in Class | 3
Premium in scheduled service<br />
The <strong>MultiClass</strong> 400 Low-Floor<br />
There are many excellent reasons for providers of overland services<br />
to opt for the low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong> from <strong>Setra</strong>. In addition to low-floor<br />
technology, it combines outstanding economy with contemporary<br />
safety features, customised comfort and coach-quality design. This all<br />
makes it an extremely versatile solution in scheduled services.<br />
Exemplary economy<br />
Favourable cost of investment, low operating and maintenance costs and<br />
the proverbially high retention value of a <strong>Setra</strong>: the <strong>MultiClass</strong> shines with<br />
high overall cost-efficiency without compare.<br />
Infinitely flexible<br />
From overland to inner-city services, from the door concept to the seats:<br />
with numerous individualisation options, it is possible to precisely tailor<br />
the <strong>MultiClass</strong> to suit your businesses needs. It also provides a critical<br />
advantage with regard to economy.<br />
All-round safety<br />
The high safety standards of the low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong> perfectly suit your<br />
application requirements. EBS and ABS are standard which helps ensure<br />
the safety of your passengers.<br />
Customised for comfort<br />
The features of the <strong>MultiClass</strong> are always optimally adapted to your<br />
needs. High-quality low-floor technology ensures ease of boarding and<br />
accommodates a high flow of passengers. And <strong>Setra</strong>’s Premium Services<br />
provide you with precisely the comfort you require as an entrepreneur.<br />

The best economics<br />
The economical qualities of the <strong>MultiClass</strong><br />
Thanks to optionally available EEV<br />
engines and corrosion protection by<br />
means of cathodic dip painting, lowfloor<br />
<strong>MultiClass</strong> vehicles are on the<br />
road with economy and environmental<br />
compatibility. In addition, they meet<br />
the requirements for “Blauer Engel”<br />
(Blue Angel) environmental<br />
certification, which calls for low noise<br />
emissions, production without the<br />
use of materials that are damaging to<br />
the ozone, and coolants and paints<br />
with low greenhouse potential.<br />
A<br />
coach’s quality and reliability are ultimately<br />
the deciding factors when it comes to its costefficiency.<br />
In this regard as well, the low-floor<br />
<strong>MultiClass</strong> is in a class all its own. It shows its commercial<br />
strengths right from the start with an excellent price/<br />
performance ratio. Maintenance and operating costs are<br />
just as exemplary as its ease of maintenance thanks to<br />
state-of-the-art drive technology. The results: extremely<br />
favourable lifecycle costs and – thanks to high-quality<br />
workmanship including undercarriage protection and<br />
corrosion protection by means of cathodic dip painting –<br />
incomparable value stability.<br />
Upon request, the <strong>MultiClass</strong> is available with a Blue-<br />
Tec ® Euro V and EEV engine. This choice constitutes a<br />
critical contribution to responsible care of the environment<br />
– and of your wallet. The aggregates comply with<br />
the voluntary EEV emissions standard even without a<br />
diesel particle filter and surpass the quality of emissions<br />
required by the applicable Euro V standard. Moreover,<br />
the omission of<br />
the particle filter further reduces maintenance costs and<br />
times. Even more seats are possible since a platform in<br />
the rear of the passenger compartment is omitted.<br />
With all this, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)<br />
technology is a great benefit: with its help, it is possible<br />
to convert the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust together<br />
with ammonia into pure nitrogen and steam. A process<br />
which is clean and also saves on fuel.<br />

Perfection on the road<br />
The comfort you desire for your passengers<br />
The area designed for communication<br />
has been proven to reduce damages in<br />
the passenger compartment, and is a<br />
pleasant way to add value to your<br />
low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong>.<br />
If you opt for the wheelchairaccessible<br />
entry, you can choose<br />
between a manually operated ramp<br />
and a motorised one.<br />
It is easy to recognise a low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong> as a <strong>Setra</strong> vehicle right<br />
from the first glance. However, the <strong>MultiClass</strong> brings genuine <strong>Setra</strong><br />
standards to scheduled runs in other ways as well. This applies, on<br />
the one hand, in terms of the comfort level and, on the other hand, in<br />
terms of the many different options available: in this regard, we are able<br />
to facilitate your needs.<br />
Featuring curved baggage racks, panorama windows and no-step<br />
boarding – ideal for passenger flow and safety – the passenger<br />
compartment boasts a particularly pleasant ambience. The specially<br />
developed seating made by <strong>Setra</strong> sets new standards: never before<br />
have scheduled service seats been so comfortable and yet so sturdy.<br />
Its innovative base makes for easy movement and cleaning, its weightoptimised<br />
construction makes it economically lightweight, and its lean<br />
design generates valuable space.<br />
The best of conditions also exist for heating and climate control:<br />
draught-free, efficient air and temperature distribution ensure that your<br />
passengers are comfortable even on long routes – with air-conditioning<br />
available in three categories for use as required. The space for prams or<br />
wheelchairs fits in perfectly with the compartment concept as does the<br />
manually or electrically operated wheelchair ramp. In connection with<br />
state-of-the-art low-floor technology, this provides you with an ideal<br />
basis for barrier-free service.<br />
8 | Comfort
Ergonomic right down the line<br />
Examples of model cockpit design<br />
Paying special attention to the needs of the driver<br />
when we design a coach cockpit is a <strong>Setra</strong> tradition.<br />
This is the only way to ensure a cockpit that meets all<br />
the requirements necessary for high levels of concentration,<br />
relaxed driving, and also for the greatest safety, punctuality<br />
and reliability in scheduled service provision.<br />
The form of the cockpit is a typical example: the clear<br />
separation protects the driver while at the same time<br />
increasing his level of concentration. The interior is an<br />
admirable combination of modern ergonomics and the<br />
specifications of renowned business associations. All<br />
instruments feature intuitive operation, and storage<br />
compartments and trays ensure that everything remains<br />
neat and tidy. Compartments for lost articles, emergency<br />
equipment, fire extinguishers and personal items are<br />
integrated in the cockpit: keeping things in order also<br />
means safety.<br />
Centrally positioned in the driver’s field of vision, an<br />
intelligent multifunction display for critical data and<br />
occurrences also serves for the purpose of onboard<br />
diagnosis. Steering wheel and driver’s seat feature<br />
infinitely variable adjustment. The vibration-proof fare<br />
box is integrated in the cockpit door – easy retrofitting<br />
of printer systems is possible. These are just a few of<br />
many examples of the outstanding flexibility of the lowfloor<br />
<strong>MultiClass</strong>.<br />
Ideal conditions for the<br />
driver – thanks to the great<br />
end-to-end ergonomics.<br />
Easy to maintain and operate: The<br />
multimedia box above the driver’s<br />
seat contains the mobile and digital<br />
tachograph as well as controllers for<br />
the IBIS systems.<br />

12 | Features
Safety first, and no “buts” about it<br />
Appropriate protection for driver and passengers<br />
For six decades, the name <strong>Setra</strong> has been standing<br />
for high-level safety standards in coach building.<br />
Adapted to your specific purpose, the holistic safety<br />
concept of the low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong> also lives up to these<br />
high standards.<br />
Making driving easier.<br />
The consistently ergonomic design of the <strong>MultiClass</strong><br />
cockpit ensures the utmost in operating comfort and<br />
increased passenger safety.<br />
Improving perception.<br />
Powerful illumination plus state-of-the-art mirror systems<br />
provide an additional boost in the safety level of the<br />
low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong>.<br />
Minimising damages.<br />
Perfectly positioned stop options, clear indication, e.g.<br />
of fire extinguishers and emergency hammers, as well as<br />
advanced LED lighting of the entry/exit areas increase the<br />
safety of your passengers. Integrated roll bars, an interior<br />
free from sharp edges and protrusions and efficient impact<br />
protection features ensure additional passive safety.<br />
Of course, we have also considered the issue of safety<br />
from the perspective of you as an entrepreneur. The<br />
comprehensive low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong> offering therefore<br />
includes options such as interior cameras and other<br />
equipment for the prevention of vandalism.<br />
Supporting reactions.<br />
The electronically controlled braking system (EBS), antiblocking<br />
system (ABS) and optional traction control system<br />
(ASR) ensure safe braking and starting in <strong>MultiClass</strong> 400<br />
low-floor buses. And the optional electronic stability<br />
programme (ESP ® ) reduces risk of skidding in critical<br />
situations.<br />
14 | Safety
The seating is a major quality feature<br />
of the low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong>. All seats<br />
are specially designed for scheduled<br />
service, offering top comfort at<br />
a standard speed of 100 km/h. In<br />
addition, the seat back boasts a<br />
scratch- and abrasion-proof shell.<br />
The end-to-end safety concept of the<br />
low-floor <strong>MultiClass</strong> is reflected in<br />
the seating: For example, all passenger<br />
seats can be equipped with 2-point<br />
belts as well as grips.
