GERMANY It was half a century ago the Setra introduced the 100 model series and 12,339 units of this generation comprising touring, inter-urban and regular service coaches and buses were sold.
Among other features, the coaches featured a more angular design and larger passenger saloons with extended interior headroom compared with the models of the preceding 10 series.
All models were fitted for the first time with independent suspension on the front axle as standard. The 100 model series included the Panorama coach, offering perfect all-round visibility with its raised floor and is often considered the forerunner to all high-deck coaches.
