SML Isuzu (SMLI) presented feature-packed luxury buses – Executive Lx coach and Ecomax Bus – at the show, in line with its focus of delivering best-in-class fully-built solutions in the Indian bus market.
Said Mr. Toshihiro Otsubo, Sr. Vice President – Marketing, SML Isuzu: “Our goal is to provide fully-built buses to address the emerging trends in the end-user requirements and technology specifically meant for tourist and staff transport. As a standard, our products primarily focus on providing better safety, comfort and operational economy.”
SMLI’s Executive Lx coach, an 18-seater luxury bus, boasts features like pushback reclining seats, on-board entertainment system, individual AC louvers, reading lamps, mobile charging points, cup holders and paper/magazine holding mesh, wide windows and spacious interiors. This fully-built bus conforms to AIS 052 (Bus Body Code) and is positioned as a premium staff bus.
The Ecomax Bus, the 12-seater with pushback reclining seats, comes with numerous features like wide comfortable seats, effective air-conditioning, individual mobile charging points, cup-holder and magazine pouch. Being a small bus, it has a low turning circle radius enabling it to move in narrow lanes.

SMLI is a key player in the Indian bus market, commanding leadership position in the school bus segment.
