Scania breaks into Israeli city market

摘要

Scania has made a significant breakthrough in the Israeli citybus market in a major contract with Egged, the country's largest operator. It will supply Egged with around 140 N280UB low-floor chassis with Merkavim Pioneer bodies built in Israel. The deal follows the trial of seven buses with Swiss-made Hess bodies assembled by Haargaz from completely knocked down (CKD) kits on a mix of low-floor and low-entry chassis. Another customer for the Hess-Haargaz combination was Afifi Group for its Nazareth fleet.
