Launching the two new ULTRA Bus models, Rudrarup Maitra, Head of (Sales), International Business, Commercial Vehicle Business Unit, TATA Motors Ltd, said, “These ULTRA buses have been designed for intra-city as well as inter-city transport”.

To make travel more comfortable, push-back seats with up to 135 degree recline, wide arm and foot rests are provided in the bus without compromising on the rear and side luggage boot space. Additionally the bus also comes with LCD screen fitment and a CD / DVD player on request, media release issued by the company said.
The school variant on the other hand is equipped with 25 safety features along with various comfort features for children. With wider track axle and lowest in class turning radius, the vehicle is stable at turns and easy to manoeuvre, it said.
The TATA ULTRA range of buses is the first in its category with a door ahead of the front axle, resulting in more seats for the same length of bus and subsequently better returns for the operator, the media release revealed.
