ALTHOUGH it will be exhibited in' the bus section of next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, Neoplan's new Jumbo 980 340passenger airport vehicle is definitely one "not-for-the-road".
Designed to carry a full aircraft load of passengers to and from terminal buildings, the doubledeck "aero lounge" is 4.54m wide and 4.58m high. It will provide 150 seats and space for 190 standing passengers. The fouraxle vehicle, powered by a Mercedes-Benz V10 diesel engine of 295bhp, is designed for a gvw of 48 tonnes and has its own telescopic stair link to the aircraft cation de§pite a plea by Hugh James for CCT that there should be either a legal or public policy reason not to grant the licence immediately, Mr Jackson said if the commissioners allowed operators to complete forms in any way they chose, there would be little point in having a statutory form at all.
