The Euro Bus Expo 2006.
Kinetec (single decker)
The standard Kinetec is a
Scania OmniTown the bus uses the East Lancs Esteem body, but with the chassis maker's (MAN's) Lion's City
front.
Kinetec+ (double decker)
The Kinetec+ is a
MAN ND283F
(A48) chassis. The first prototype body has a low-height (4 metres) design under EU regulations, but which has been criticised. Another prototype in London specification with a 4.3 metre height had been planned, but this had not materialised.
Like later Spectras, the body is of
East Lancs Olympus
body.
Naming
Both the Kinetec and Kinetec+ were placed on display at the Euro Bus Expo 2006 with "KINETEC" lettering, but with plates bearing the alternative spelling "KINETIC". The LED displays also showed the name with an "I". This has inevitably led to some uncertainty as to the correct spelling of the model name.
