type99_closed_highresOEM and aftermarket shock absorber and strut manufacturer Koni has announced the introduction of the Evo 99, a shock absorber designed exclusively for bus and coach applications.

Key benefits of the Evo 99 are passenger comfort, improved handling, safety and lower operating costs, claims Roadlink International Ltd, which distributes Koni CV products in the UK and Ireland.

Said the company: “The Evo 99 hails the next step in the evolution of bus and coach suspension technology and is the first ever damper designed specifically for bus and coach applications.

“The new damper reduces axle-induced chassis vibration and noise significantly, resulting in a quieter and more comfortable limousine-like ride experience. With Evo99, both driver and passengers are assured of maximum safety as well as absolute comfort.”

The robust design of the Evo99, with its low friction and reduced weight, maintains optimum performance over an extended service life, Roadlink says.

“Evo99 is also proven to perform well in top heavy buses with a high centre of gravity, so it is a completely flexible solution for all bus and coach applications and it can be tuned to each individual customer’s requirements.”

The official introduction of the Evo 99 was celebrated at the Busworld exhibition in Kortrijk, Belgium, where the Evo 99, was nominated for the ‘ECW Innovation Label 2013’.
