Mohamed bin Misnad, chairman, MBM Transport; Faisal Sharif, managing
director, Domasco; Jithesh K V, director-Middle East & CIS, Volvo

Sharif said, “We are pleased to offer the Volvo range of buses with
Marcopolo Bus bodies to MBM Transport. Building a new partnership with
such a prominent local company is truly a breakthrough deal for Domasco
and Volvo Buses. The deal is a result of Volvo’s dedication to safety,
environmental care and quality that met the guidelines set by MBM.”
Apart from their “distinctive streamlined exteriors”, Volvo Paradiso and
Torino buses boast of a host of features that “significantly enhance
passenger and driver comfort”, Domasco has said in a statement.
With an aim to continuously improve vehicle safety, the Paradiso comes
with a wide and curved windscreen providing a better view of the road
for the driver and a panoramic view of the landscape for passengers
seated at the front of the coach.
The Torino has a robust build, equipped with a low floor, easing access
for all passengers and allowing for faster embarking and disembarking.
The buses come with an I-shift automated gearbox, Volvo disc brake
system combined with EBS, ABS and ASR functions with ESP for yaw control
and roll over prevention. New ergonomic seats offer much more comfort
for the passengers and strong structural design with safety
certifications.
