Questions/clarification or approved equal: The operating range of the coach when run on the FTA ABD Cycle shall be at least 350 miles or 20 hours with full fuel capacity; with a minimum 165 gallons.

ENC wishes to clarify that operating range is determined by many factors outside of the manufacturer's control such as environment vehicles operated in, driver skill, and vehicle maintenance to name a few. The Cummins L9 diesel engine provides a 73-gallon tank and an approximate operating range of 290 miles for our 30’ and 35’ E-Z Rider units. This is a critical bus design element as larger fuel tanks cannot be configured in our E-Z Rider products. Approval requested for the approximate operating range and tank capacity as outlined.

INSIGHT-PRIME+ INSIGHT-PRIME

Color-coordinating inserts available in seven standard colors. No back panel required. Seat module specifically engineered for cleanability.

INSIGHT’s Construction

Grab Handle A large, sophisticated injection mold is able to produce a sleek, one-piece seat module made of a super-dense, composite resin with an integral grab handle. Seat Module Each seat module hooks over the back side of the upper extrusion and is securely held in place by two front bolts. On two-pass transverse seats, one bolt secures Back Panel the front V-filler to the back side of the upper extrusion. This five-bolt assembly simplifies any retrofit opportunities or rare cases of maintenance needs.

Cushion Onsert INSIGHT-PRIME and INSIGHT-PRIME+ model types are built with a one-piece seat module, while INSIGHT adds a single back insert with a seat and a back cushion onserts that accept permanently bonded foam and/or upholstery. The back panel insert is held in place by six fasteners hidden by the cushion onserts. These onserts are secured to the perimeter of the seat with a quick-release system of hardware technology that does not require tools to efficiently remove and replace when required. Options
