The RTS product line utilizes a welded, modular stainless
steel body construction. It is this feature that has contributed to the excellent reputation in the transit
industry as being the most durable body structure available in the market. The RTS offers a fully automatic
transmission with brake retarder. Configurations are available that include a variety of alternate fuels
including clean diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG). MTS is also reviewing Hybrid and Fuel Cell options. The transit industry mandates that city buses
be accessible to all riders, particularly the physically challenged passenger. The RTS meets these
requirements by providing a wheelchair lift located in the entrance or exit door and a pneumatic
suspension system that kneels to the curb to allow for ease of ingress and egress. All models of the RTS
include electrical circuitry that utilizes modular electrical subsystems and the state of the art
multiplexing system to ensure reliability and ease of maintenance. The climate control system includes
a roof mounted fully integrated air conditioning and heating systems. These systems
provide an excellent climate control system for the passenger, using an automatic control system to
adjust the temperature inside the vehicle to maintain a comfortable riding environment.
The transit industry requires various sizes of public transit vehicles to meet its transportation
needs. The buses are also available in the 102". The RTS product line allows for various seating configurations that depend on the length of the bus and the
customer requirements.
