Setra – the brand has been the epitome of premium touring coaches for over seven decades. The next generation of Setra TopClass stands for a versatile touring coach concept that meets the strictest requirements in economy, safety and flexibility. Like all exclusive TopClass HDH models, the award-winning S 516 HDH takes bus tours to a new level. Maximum long-distance comfort, individual luxury and technical excellence combine to create a true travelling experience.

The Setra brand received further recognition. The Italian trade magazine Autobus awards S 515 HDH the “Sby Sustainable Bus Award 2024”. The expert panel made up of international bus/touring coach specialists presented the Setra TopClass touring coach with the sustainability award for safety, comfort, efficiency and intelligent technologies, established in 2016.

Active Drive Assist also scored high marks amongst the panel: "The semi-autonomous driving system represents a milestone in the touring coach industry and pushes the boundaries of driver assistance systems."

For Mirko Sgodda, Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Services at Daimler Buses, the awards received in Belgium are clear messages to the industry: "These internationally acclaimed awards raise our leadership role in both the development of electric mobility and the expansion of new safety and assistance systems."
