Popular Japanese import used buses overseas

The Japanese import used bus that can be purchased cheaply is very popular overseas!

Introducing all of the Japanese import used buses that are used worldwide as shared buses and shuttle buses! There are various types of Japanese import used buses that are popular as passenger buses and shuttle buses.

In particular, small-sized buses such as the minibus, which are capable of turning in a small space than large buses, can be driven relatively safely by people who are not very familiar with driving buses.

Some large-sized buses are equipped with various facilities, for example, seats like a private room with a U-shaped rear seat, but small-sized buses such as a minibus are usually not equipped with these facilities.

In terms of other facilities and performance, however, a driver can experience the same ease of driving as a large bus, so small-sized minibuses are recommended especially for driving in narrow places or in urban areas.

Therefore, from here, we will introduce all imported used buses from Japan, such as Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki, etc., which are world-famous Japanese automobile manufacturers, from 1st to 8th place!

The Japanese brand, Toyota's used bus Coaster won the first prize!

Its features are high safety and a strong mechanism that conforms to international standards! The Japanese car, Toyota's used bus Coaster has been loved in Japan for about 50 years since it was released as a "Toyopet Light Bus" in 1963.

Then, it was named "Coaster" in 1969 and adapted the conventional folding door type entrance door and the ground door for the first time in a domestic minibus.

After various minor changes, the current Coaster was completely remodeled for the first time in 26 years and was improved to be a model with strength and high safety.

By incorporating various advanced technologies such as "Toyota Safety Sense" for safety performance, it contributes to securing a cabin space in case of an emergency. The strength of the bus body conforms not only to Japan but also to international standards. This makes it safe to drive anywhere in the world after importing!

By strengthening the safety of minibus, which has a lighter body than a large-sized bus by combining it with a strong and light high‐tensile steel plate.
While measuring the weight reduction of the car body, it has achieved a strength that complies with “the ECE standard R-66”, which is a global safety standard.

With this strong body, even if it rolls over, the body will not be deformed so that you can secure enough space firmly. Wouldn't it be perfect for safety first in daily transfers and school buses?

By adopting a catalytic DPR system with a configuration, it succeeded in removing nitrogen oxides and PM significantly, which cause air pollution.

By adopting the front double wheel wishbone suspension, the left and right wheels can independently grasp the road surface and absorb the impact, so it is possible to reduce sway under bad road conditions.

It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as picking up guests at weddings and other ceremonies or transporting passengers in areas outside the shared bus route.

The seating capacity is 10 to 19 people, and it is possible to realize a spacious interior by reducing the seating capacity.

The outstanding features are high-level environmental performance and various designs!

The Japanese car, Mitsubishi Fuso's import used bus "Rosa", was launched in 1960. It had a slightly larger car body based on a medium-sized truck at the beginning of the sale. But later responding to a request of users who use the minibus for their own use, it had a model change.

Up until now, there were two types of "Light Rosa", but after the full model change in 1973, it was made into one model. And the current model is the fourth generation Rosa released in 1977.

In the 4th generation Rosa, the first airbag on a minibus is set in the driver's seat, and the entrance door is set just behind the front wheels, giving it a rounded exterior.

There are a wide variety of models, for instance, a 25-seater "short body", a 29-seater "long body", a 33-seater "super long body", a kindergarten shuttle bus model, a route-specific minibus, and a "chair deck version" that can be used as a shuttle bus at nursing care facilities. You can choose from four grades such as "basic" and "standard".

It features a diesel engine that achieves both high-level environmental performance and fuel efficiency and is compatible with the European passenger protection regulation “EC standard”. Good fuel consumption is an especially important point when importing and purchasing used buses!

The feature of Rainbow is low fuel consumption!

The Japanese car brand, "Rainbow", produced by Hino was released in 1966 for small-sized cabover cars, and medium-sized rear-engine cars were released in 1980.

In Japan, it was widely sold as a fixed route bus and tourist bus from the 1980s to the 1990s, and after many model changes, SKG-KR290J2 was released in 2016 as the current model.

The current model of Rainbow meets the fuel efficiency standards of 2015 and at the same time, it complies with the post new long-term emission regulations.

By using Hino's clean diesel technology, it has achieved even lower fuel consumption and emissions with a diesel engine. This is a great point of the Japanese used bus when importing!

In addition, the latest model released in July 2019 is equipped with a system “EDSS” that informs passengers and surroundings of driver's abnormality so that the surroundings can be noticed when something happens to the driver.

EDSS is a system to gradually decelerate and stop by the driver or passenger pressing the emergency brake switch or the passenger pressing the switch installed in the upper part of the passenger compartment.

At this time, a red flasher behind the driver's seat blinks to make an emergency stop along with a voice announcement inside the vehicle, and a horn is sounded in the surrounding area to cause an abnormality by blinking a stop lamp and a hazard lamp. In this case, it is safe for both the driver and the passenger when using the bus for transportation!

Rainbow, which is mainly used for purposes such as fixed-route buses and shared buses, accommodates 29 to 79 passengers depending on the model, and you can select the model according to the intended use.

By installing a clean diesel engine that has passed the 2016 emission regulations, it has become possible to drive with consideration for the environment.
