We always had a G7 Paradiso in South Africa, operated by Greyhound South Africa. The best coach ride I had going from Johannesburg to Durban, the views are amazing. 😊
Here in Chile, I've taken 10-hour trips on these buses as a passenger, and they're just really comfortable. My body is well rested with no physical pain, and when taking naps, it's feels like a real bed!
A very impressive coach for the South American market, but not suitable for E U countries and I think the 1 door for passengers could well be a safety problem in Europe.
The 1 door it is a normal thing in Brasil and South America, but like all the bus constructors in here, also it is a changeable bus, you CAN put a second door if the company who buys like.
For Brazilians, a door that opens on the driver's side is something that only buses have in the last century! And as for safety, all of them are equipped with tilt-up windows that come out when you need to get out, as well as roof-mounted exits. Brazilian buses are the best in the world.
Thank Magne for making my dream comeand hounouring your word on the last Brazil Video. Thank You. You made my Day. Love from South Africa and all as bus nuts.
Yep we have a lot of Marcopolo busses in South Africa from the G6, IRIZA i6 also available yes like europe we don't have double axle steering... And the G8 was launched last month in South Africa ... hence you see the G7 still on order for South Africa the first batch of G8 only arrived last week
@ngobeseekhayakwa6200 Iriza high deck is my favorite on the Iriza bus range. With self leveling suspension and self lowering for the elderly to get in or out of the bus. Best place to watch them. At OR Tambo International Airport
What a beautiful coach. I remember riding in a Paradiso in 2013 in Brazil it was on a Scania three axle chassis and a seven speed manual transmission. All I can say is that it was the most comfortable coach I've ridden in to this date.
Volvo euro 6 use the 13 Liters engine in Brazil, with 380hp 460hp and 510 hp, in configuration 8x2 use the chassi volvo b510r The volvos euro 5 have a 11 Liters engine with 380 hp, 410 hp and 450 hp, its just a small contribution Very nice video!!
In larger markets there is more focus on lucrativeness with more seats, fortunately in Uruguay we have the best 1800 DD, the companies that travel from the North to the capital of the country (Montevideo) in the South of the country, the majority leave around midnight , to the capital it is a 6 to 7 hour trip, both downstairs and upstairs, the configuration of three individual rows, two lateral and one central, and all seats are beds (like the ones in this report) you manage to reach your destination Well rested to start the day. There are also options from other manufacturers in the region such as Busscar and Comil that are gradually reaching a level of excellence in their products such as Marcopolo. Proud to say that in Latin America we have the best and most comfortable road transport vehicles.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were really light! I've lifted airliner seats before and they're shockingly light. Bus seats, though, definitely are on the opposite end 😅
My lad was on a bus in Thailand earlier in the year. It was about an 10h bus trip, he was video calling me while on it and I'm not joking it was like a first class plane, chairs turned into beds, with flat screen TV, charges the lot. I didn't even think such buses existed. It was really cheap too. Iirc under £30 for a 10h ride.
OOH... There is a separate yt channel for Busses. OMG.. How did i miss this channel these days. I am a big bus fan from INDIA. I would lov eto explore this channel. Do you have any Indian bus videos??
Really nice! Love the 4-wheel steering, but I'm surprised it doesn't have rear-wheel steering. Feels like that would be a requirement for importing them to Sweden. Over here, shorter buses than this one has rear-wheel steering to be able to safely maneuver around roundabouts and tight street turns. Would love to both ride and drive one of these.
@@matijakumaric4851 I've travelled extensively in both coaches, and European coaches are just horrid, uncomfortable... how can you be so butt hurt by this? LOL.
The vehicle shown in the video is 15m long and due to regulations in the South American market, more specifically the Brazilian market, it is necessary for it to have 4 axles.
i don't think it's THAT necessary. there's a lot of 15m city buses with 3 axles in South America. but 4 Axles provide better weight distributions in certain cases. in this case, the bus would likely to be loaded near GVWR more often on a longer trips than its 3 axle counterparts. it's just to make sure the vehicle is more than capable of handling heavy loads
It is for legal reasons, and for safety as well, because it has 30 ton GVWR, requires 4 axles. Braking is improved and generates provisional backup ride in case of puncture with this configuration
Eu sou do Brasil e sou apaixonado no G8 DD da Marcopolo, existe outro onibus que também é lindoo, Busscar NB1 DD Panorâmico, também é um bom carro. ❤🇧🇷
To say that this is an impressive monster is an understatement. The only limit in how to equip it is your imagination and money clip. Still skeptical about twin steers. Would be neat to see these here in North America. But an ALLISON transmission would be more suitable. Plus a single front axle would be likely be preferred. Very interesting and informative video as usual.
greetings from South Africa🙏🏿next time you do a review, can you please guide us through every button for the driver? i know you explained already but i’d really enjoy a step by step of what every button does and such Thank you!
Well! I will never make a video with full explaining of each button. That will be extremely uninteresting. We want to entertain our viewers. I recommended you to find a user manual and to read that one.
So, the reason for not being sold in Europe is the width of the vehicle, right? Didn't know about this. Also it is significantly higher than most buses here. We see buses up to 4.1 meters (4 in most cases) whereas this thing has 4.25 if I am not wrong. These dimensions are "no go" for regulations I suppose.
As far as I am aware, UK uses the same maximums as EU. The UK did leave the EU but still continues to adhere to many commonalities. So 2m55 width and 4m height is the limit for trucks and coaches. An exception is made for refrigerated trailers on trucks to allow for the extra width of insulation, but to give the same interior width as a dry trailer.
I just had to hear you close the door and look at the panel the first time the camera pointed to it, to know everything there's to know about this bus.
4 axle definitely looks cool! What is the main practical reason for it? Keeping axle load lower? Stability? Or is it mostly for the sweet looks? Would be cool to have in Sweden but I guess they will be slower than trains for long distance travel.
lower axle load and weight distribution is likely the main reasons. since such bus would likely loaded at GVWR more often. so it's better to make sure the platform is more than capable
Those Marcopolo busses are really nice. In South America, many of the bus companies serve meals on the long runs. I wonder where the kitchen is on this model!
if you mean American public sector buses. I agree. but since the topic is about private sector coaches, honestly, I start to like North American coaches like the new Prevost H and X series also the new MCI D series.
It is an incredible feeling when you get into one of these buses at 1900pm and wake up next day at around 7 am completely relaxed. super comfortable. American people have NO idea how it feels. They use a very tight uncomfortable Greyhounds all over the places.
The price depends on the configurations chosen by the customer! When configured with all the optional extras and the most expensive equipment, the price for the Brazilian market can reach the equivalent of 4 million reais or approximately 700 thousand dollars.
Gorgeous coach, well presented and informative. The t-shirt you slept in last night... not so much. Bussmagasinet doesn't have a more professional looking polo shirt?
??? At 6 and a half minutes in I’ve only seen some outside stock video and a guy sitting in the drivers seat. Oh well. Going to do a search of other channels for an actual tour of this beautiful coach. 🤷♂️

@@johannesfeigl5309quality? It's the best possible.

So this bus has the 13L 460 hp instead of the 11L 450? Like mentioned in the video
It's about time someone takes notice of these Brazilian monsters. First time I saw one, I thought it was a custom-built. 😮
I never knew bus trips could take up to 6 days in South America. That's crazy but with this kind of bus should be a comfortable ride
It’s quite incredible! Would have been fun to make this video 😁
