Three years after launching the first Next, a new integral version of the model released at Busworld. The Next was launched in 2014 and since then, it has gained a place on the minibus market, for its fully versatile, innovative design. The current range has four versions in four lengths (from 7 to 10m) and multiple interior distributions (from 27 to 41 seats with PRM options), which allows it to adapt to the needs of any service and operator.
The new vehicle shares with its predecessors the elegant exterior design and a very spacious interior, conceived in detail in order to provide a high comfort area for the passengers. It also stands for its great luggage capacity.
A new concept of integral development
During the development of the project, the focus was placed on achieving the perfect integration of all the vehicle’s elements. This led to the design of a full minibus, where the comfort, design, security, quality, and performance have been worked on as a whole. The driver’s area was created from scratch in order to create a specific dashboard for the bus driver. It will be the most powerful unit of the series, with a 264CV PACCAR PX-7 engine. The result is a new generation model, conceived to satisfy the driver, the passengers, and the operator.

In addition to the new Next, INDCAR brought to this event a large display of its minibus range, one of the largest on the market. Its new Strada M2 was shown at the show. It is a vehicle with a length of 5.9 m, a capacity of up to 9 passengers, a high comfort VIP interior and a surprising boot volume.
