Kendo/Interliner CNG, a segment-first in Turkey and third in Europe

 

Anadolu Isuzu’s innovative vehicles, developed at the company’s R&D center by considering the target markets’ specific requirements, are in high demand among the shuttle and tourism operators in Europe. Kendo/Interliner, Anadolu Isuzu’s 13-meter CNG vehicle, is a segment-first in Turkey, and the third in Europe in terms of its specifications. With an eco-friendly CNG engine, Kendo/Interliner is designed for long-distance city and intercity transportation. Intended to serve especially as a personnel shuttle and school bus, the vehicle offers better cost-effectiveness compared to the coach category but still a similar luggage volume. Standing apart among competitor models with 7.5m3 of luggage volume, Kendo/Interliner offers comfort and functionality on par with luxury coaches. Equipped with Anadolu Isuzu's smart safety technologies and features such as driver scoring via the multi-function cluster and self-diagnostics, Kendo/Interliner delivers the best package in its size in terms of spacious driver and passenger areas, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic journey.

 

Grand Toro, a reflection of Anadolu Isuzu’s new design philosophy

 

Reflecting Anadolu Isuzu's new design philosophy, Grand Toro comes to the forefront among competitors with spacious interiors for both the driver and passengers and high luggage volume. In addition to aiming for the lowest possible fuel consumption, the vehicle also makes loading and unloading luggage more convenient through three lids on the sides. Grand Toro offers the largest luggage volume and lowest fuel consumption in its class. Grand Toro will be one of the first vehicles in the midibus segment to be equipped with Anadolu Isuzu's smart safety technologies, standing apart with features such as driver scoring via the cluster and self-diagnostics.
