EVADYS APPEARANCE
«Karex» company, a long-term representative of Czech bus manufacturer Karosa before and – since the plant in Visokoe Mito has changed the owner and name for IVECO Czech Republic – a representative of the IVECO's bus section Irisbus now, for the first time showed a tourist class bus Evadys HD in Russia. It's plainly obvious (and Karex representatives didn't hide it either) that this premiere was possible due to zero rates of customs duty (in force since February 11, 2009) which covers buses with overall length of no less than 11.5 m, no less than 41 sittings, including driver, and the size of a luggage compartment of no less than 5 ì³. And French-made Evadys meets these exact criteria. Moreover, the model line-up of IVECO Czech Republic plant, which nowadays specializes in production of different forms of IVECO Crossway (city, suburban and transit), has no tourist class vehicle. The cost of a featured bus (almost nothing but «stuffing» apart from galley) is about 220000 Euro. The price is quite fair for the European bus of such class but it's a pity that a dropped rouble reduced all benefits of «zero customs duty» to nothing.
