N2 is Nitrogen - helps in having cooler tyres, and better longetivity. Many STUs (State Transport Undertakings) have moved over to N2 now. (Kerala SRTC being one).

I guess ashley was asking about the Nitrogen in the tyre. N2 is the chemical formula for Nitrogen Gas.

Sorry for being all nerdy.

we are thinking of the eicher 11.10K for a 25 seater AC bus with pushback seats. another option is the AL stag.

Raj, any idea how the painting was done for your bus. Are they GI sheets or if not have did they undergo any Pre Treatment (PT) and Electro Deposition (ED) kind of thing.
How many coats did they apply?
any details are welcome!!

raj_5004 · 5th March 2010, 22:37

No buddy, prakash does not reveal any part of its building or painting process, else i would have definitely posted it here. even photography is strictly prohibited.

Ashley2 · 22nd March 2010, 06:38

raj_5004 · 22nd March 2010, 08:52

How does this business model work Raj?

As the busses registered as Stage Carriages?

Do you 'attach' them to a 'Travels' and they provide you with customers?

Or, are they registered under AITOB (All India Tourist Omni Bus) - which most inter-city busses are registered under?

I guess you should've read the entire thread before posting these questions - his buses are Contract Carriages. They neither operate as Stage Carriages nor as Tourist buses.
