Global 1577 - Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria

This bus is a Scania K400IB6x2NB. That complicated designation works like this:

 

K represents the mounting of the engine. The K series has a longitudinally, straight-up mounted engine at the rear and is more commonly used as a coach application. This compares to the low floor N series, which has a straight-up, transversely mounted engine and is more commonly applied to local bus chassis.

 

400 is the model number.

 

I represents the type of transport the bus was built for - intercity, short to long distance, normal comfort.

 

B is the chassis adaption, meaning a normal bus.

 

6 x 2 is the wheel configuration, a tri-axle.

 

N is for the chassis height, meaning normal front and rear.

 

B is for the air suspension, and represents a rigid front axle (as opposed to an I which would represent independent front suspension.)

 

It is built with a Castrosua Magnus.E body and is seen on route 33 heading towards Puerto De Mogan.
