Overland MultiClass
Overland excellence
Focus on people
Welcome to the Setra family
W
e have been committed to excellence in coach building for
100 years. And it was 60 years ago that a great idea for our
integral body and frame took off, and is still successful today.
Right from the start, this innovation was backed by a clear, uncompromising goal: every aspect of a Setra is to be “Best in Class”. This has remained
unchanged over the years.
Back then, just like today, this means more than simply constructing the
best coach technically possible. Instead, we focus our attention, first
and foremost, on people for every new development: on your passengers,
your driver – and of course on you as an entrepreneur.
Today, this approach results in coaches that make travelling an experience in itself. Buses that win the enthusiasm of their drivers, motivate
them and even instil them with pride. And not least of all, vehicles that
constitute a positive investment for you as an entrepreneur. This also will
remain so in the future.

Overland excellence
Overland MultiClass
A
t home on overland routes, a pleasure to behold on shuttle and
occasional runs, and no stranger even to excursions: with a
broadly diversified range of models and exemplary flexibility,
Setra combines MultiClass scheduled service quality and travelling
comfort in a pleasantly economical manner.
Convincing overall cost-efficiency is the ultimate result of its favourable
cost of investment, its economical operating and maintenance costs and
the usual high retention of value of a Setra. Its high safety standards are
just as perfectly harmonised with the application opportunities of the
MultiClass as its comprehensive range of comfort features – simply
“Best in Class”.
As you see, there are now compelling reasons to come on board. For
example, the MultiClass offering, on the road for you seven days a week –
on scheduled runs and on excursions – driving you into the profit zone
with greater speed. Furthermore, its variable features allow you to adapt
it with complete flexibility to suit your requirements and special
purposes. Not least of all, the design in the coach category and Setra’s
exemplary Premium Services also speak for themselves. Welcome to
Setra!

MultiClass – the name says it all
The class of infinite opportunities
J
ust one look at the widely diversified vehicle fleet
offering and it is readily apparent that the MultiClass
lives up to its name. From the overland service to
excursion runs, it is ideal for practically everything. In
addition to its excellent economy, appropriate safety
features and all the comfort one could wish for on the
road, it is multitalented in every sense.
Application that knows no bounds.
From the compact 11-metre bus to the top model with
69 seats: MultiClass offers a level of model diversity that
leaves nothing to be desired. With seven models and
far-reaching customisation options, its areas of application
are practically infinite. You decide for yourself whether
your MultiClass is to be functional or rather have the
character of a coach.
For the perfect combination of variability and comfort,
look no further than the S 415 H and S 416 H, which boast
generous baggage holds, interiors without wheel houses
as well as special features designed for the best possible
hybrid operation. All models offer you the choice of a
functional straight front for scheduled runs and the
dynamic slanted front which gives it the character of a
coach.*
Uncompromising economy.
With a coach as flexible as the MultiClass in terms of
application, one can also count on the very best of results
with regard to economy. In addition to a convincing price/
performance ratio, MultiClass is a shining example with
economical life cycle costs. Add to this its high quality in
terms of materials and workmanship which helps ensure
a high retention of value – and all with a high level of
overall cost-efficiency.
The very latest in safety.
MultiClass has been given a range of modern systems for
passive and active safety. In addition to ABS and TCS,
these include the optional Electronic Stability Programme
ESP ®. More protection for your driver also means more
security for your company.
* Not included with S 415 H and S 416 H

The double earner
The best economics
MultiClass has a lot going for it in
terms of economy: for example,
advanced EEV engines, corrosion
protection resulting from cathodic dip
painting (CDP) and consumptionoptimised transmissions.
M
ultiClass is a bus for everyday use in the best
sense. Serving on overland routes from Monday
to Friday, it can be used for lucrative excursions
at weekends and is a sought after double earner. To
ensure that this pays off even faster, we have reduced
the time required for servicing as well as the costs for
maintenance and operation for the MultiClass to an
absolute minimum – in addition to increasing the ease
of maintenance.
Precise adaptation of the features to suit your application
requirements contributes to its economy. Everything that
is attractive in a coach can also be installed in the

overland MultiClass: from the WC, comfortable bus seats
and a perfectly integrated kitchen area all the way to the
dynamic slanted coach front*.
The excellent overall cost-efficiency of the MultiClass
results to a great extent from its renowned quality, which
gives it a particularly long service life and makes its
resale value pleasantly high: quality that pays off in the
best sense.
* Restrictions in the case of S 415 H and S 416 H
Technology that pays off
Economy under the bonnet – and on the bottom line
T
he overland MultiClass is a vehicle with a promising future in many
regards. The new BlueTec ® EEV aggregates, among other things,
turn the MultiClass into a solution marked by ecological and
economical excellence.
You now comply with the voluntary EEV emissions standard even without
a diesel particle filter and surpass the quality of emissions required by
the applicable Euro V standard. At the same time, foregoing the particle
filter results in tangibly lower maintenance and operating costs. This
means a lean line achieved by very economical means. But you can
choose more than just “your” engine from an extensive modular range.
Select from a variety of options for the transmission as well – from
automatic to the AS-tronic.
The ZF-RAS trailing axle provides active steering support for more than
just added comfort – offering, for instance, easier manoeuvring, smaller
turning circles and improved straight driving. It also reduces wear and
tear on tyres. A further plus with regard to economy is provided by the
modern cathodic dip painting (CDP) and undercarriage protection of the
MultiClass with several components (also standard): excellent preventive
care for a long bus life.

Comfort tailored to your passengers
A pleasant trip
W
ith its dynamic slanted coach front, the
MultiClass is immediately seen as an elegant
coach. Its interior likewise holds its own in
any comparison. MultiClass scores top points, meeting
your every wish with first-rate comfort, features for
excursions, harmonious colours and shapes and a
marvellous feeling of spaciousness including panorama
views.
The new generation of Setra seats give you a choice
of various models and many high-quality upholstery
materials – and you can also opt for seat features that
correspond more precisely to your requirements than
ever before. For maximum comfort, all seats now have
suspension seat cushions and can be intuitively operated
in every aspect. Service sets above the seats and
optimised air-conditioning can be requested to round
off the travel features.
12 | Comfort
Just your needs
W
hether overland or touring: a MultiClass vehicle
holds its own in any comparison with regard
to comfort and features. It offers high-level
features for scheduled runs that can be tailored to suit
your individual needs with numerous options. You can, for
example, choose door sizes, ComAir air-conditioning and
technology for the destination indicator which precisely
suit your main application.
Thanks to its weight-optimised design, the sturdy
scheduled service seating is surprisingly light. This saves
not only fuel but also increases the number of passengers
that you can accommodate. A space for prams or
wheelchairs fits perfectly into the design concept. And
with its straight front for scheduled service, the vehicle’s
purpose is readily apparent from its exterior.
Comfort | 13
The ideal guide
When the driver becomes a tour guide
T
he comfort that awaits the driver in the MultiClass
cockpit is perfectly adapted to suit this special
purpose. It supports the driver not only at bus
stops but also on long trips. Even on extended
excursions, excellent conditions are given for high levels
of concentration and relaxed driving.
A refrigeration unit and a joystick for shifting, for
example, are ergonomically integrated in the cockpit with
particular practicality, along with many generous storage
compartments and trays which keep everything neat and
tidy. It is possible to remove the fare box prior to an
excursion just as easily as you can put it in for scheduled
runs: just one of many examples of the unparalleled
flexibility of the MultiClass.
14 | Comfort
Ergonomic right down the line
T
he greater your driver’s concentration and safety,
the better it is for your passengers – and for your
company. This applies equally to scheduled runs
as well as excursions. Consequently, we have made
ergonomic design a priority for the functional scheduled
service cockpit, which is evident, for example, in the
extensive adjustment options and settings for the driver’s
seat.
An intelligent multifunction display, centrally positioned
in the driver’s field of vision, provides easily legible
information on critical data and occurrences in addition
to serving for the purpose of onboard diagnosis. Many
other details in and around the cockpit show just how
flexible the MultiClass is.
Comfort | 15
Your very own special MultiClass
Your Setra tailored to precision
O
nly a coach which is completely tailored to suit its special
purpose, your own requirements and the needs of your
passengers will be able to perfectly meet all expectations. This
paves the way directly to the profit zone. We therefore offer you
surprisingly many opportunities for equipping your MultiClass to
precisely suit your needs and consequently facilitate optimum
operation.
It starts with an extraordinarily wide range of feature options. We adapt
materials and workmanship with exactitude to the respective application
focus: with top durability and top quality. For scheduled runs we offer
you – integrated in the practical front for scheduled service – various
destination indicators as well as double-width doors. For combined
operation, we are happy to equip your MultiClass with everything you are
accustomed to in our modern coaches.* Because we are of the opinion
that the best MultiClass is one that suits you perfectly.
Relax in the Setra Design Centre and choose the seats, interior materials and paint
for your MultiClass.
Your MultiClass takes shape at our Design Centre in Neu-Ulm over the
course of a personal consultation. You can even use our 3D bus designer
to virtually navigate through the interior of your vehicle. The final step is
then our perfectly crafted implementation of your wishes – indeed “Best
in Class”.

That good feeling of all-round safety
Appropriate protection for driver and passengers
T
he name Setra has always stood for high-level
safety standards in coach building. The vision
behind this also applies to the MultiClass – tailored
to your specific application. Its holistic safety concept,
whose elements are interlinked across all vehicle components, includes various active and passive systems, for
instance, which support the driver in critical situations
and minimise the consequences should an accident
occur. This makes it possible for the driver and passengers to enjoy that good feeling of travelling in safety.
Making driving easier.
For example, with a consistently ergonomic cockpit
design – for optimum operating comfort and a high level
of user safety.
Improving perception.
Modern mirror systems and powerful lighting equipment
such as Litronic Xenon lights further increase the high
protection potential.
Supporting reactions.
For instance, with the Electronic Stability Programme
ESP®. This tangibly reduces the risk of skidding, while the
anti-blocking system (ABS) and traction control system
(TCS) ensure safe braking and starting in every MultiClass.
Minimising damages.
Passenger safety is increased since less standing room
is available: the more seats there are, the greater the
protection. And this is even more the case since our seats
have been tested in crash situations. The grips are just as
accessible as the passenger buttons. And the MultiClass’
integrated roll bars make for a passenger compartment
that can withstand great impact.
Further safety features are the front axle with single
wheel suspension as well as a chassis technology that
corresponds to that of Setra coaches: both of which are
a real plus in terms of comfort and safety.
18 | Safety
The Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP ®) is an active system for
increasing driving safety and driving
stability. It tangibly reduces the risk
of skidding when navigating curves
and taking evasive action. Even
in situations which experienced
professional drivers could not
contend with.
The passenger buttons also
contribute to the high level of safety
of the overland MultiClass. Not only
are they available in large numbers,
but they are easy to access from
almost every part of the
compartment. There is no need for
any of the passengers to leave their
seats in order to indicate that they
want to get off at the next stop.

This is where to find the MultiClass that suits you
