BCI PROMA 33 Advantage
9 Reasons to choose the Proma 33

1. Seating

The Proma 33 offers thirty-three, ADR 68, fixed full width, luxury seats as standard, which is 9 to 13 more passenger seats than others in this class, with a 2-plus-2 configuration your passengers can sit with their friends, comfortably.

Compare this to similar class vehicles where the double seats are on one side and the ride is lopsided.

Passengers sit on the same level, with the last row sitting higher, not lower, for better viewing.

The Proma 33 has 51 – 94mm more seat pitch for extra leg room and additional comfort.

2. Safety

The Proma 33 is packed full of safety features as standard, including:

ABS

Disc Brakes on all wheels (heavy duty air system)

Multi stage hydraulic retarder

Galvanized Australian steel, ADR 59 rollover frame

ADR 68 lap sash safety belt seat for all passengers

Air suspended ADR lap sash belted seat for the driver, ergonomically designed for greater comfort and reduced fatigue

4-link air suspension with front and rear anti roll bars for improved stability

Forward entry, with no passengers getting in the way of the driver's view

Large, well positioned mirrors for better driver vision

Even weight distribution, with 2 + 2 seating improving stability

3. Heavy Duty

The Proma 33 has a GVM of 11.8 tons but drives like a car, with added features.

No chance of overloading, with a load carrying capacity of more than 4,000Kg

-Brand X will exceed the rated GVM if the average passenger is heavier than 75Kg & 14.4 meter Kerb to Kerb turning circle
-Brand Y will exceed the rated GVM if the average passenger is heavier than 71Kg & 14.4 meter Kerb to Kerb turning circle

LED exterior lighting

Larger capacity and heavier duty cycle running components

4. Air Suspension

Only the Proma 33 provides the absolute comfort and stability of full air suspension, with 2-high, wide bags at the front and 4 bags at the rear, coupled with anti roll bars front and rear.

5. Rear Engine

The Proma 33 uses a Cummins ISB 185 Euro 4, heavy-duty, 4.5L rear-mounted engine, for greater driver and passenger comfort. More torque: a massive 700Nm from a low 1200 rpm gives better performance and cruising.

6. Transmission

The Proma 33 features heavy duty Allison automatic 6-speed transmission with integrated hydraulic retarder for better braking performance and longer brake life.

7. Cost / Value

The Proma 33 blitzes the opposition on value for money. Based on the RRP of the following similarly specified, deluxe models, with auto, a/c and seat-belt seats:

Brand X -- 20-passenger = $5,780 per passenger
Brand Y -- 24-passenger = $5,575 per passenger
Proma 33 -- 33-passenger = $4,015 per passenger

8. Long Life

The Proma 33 is built from Australian high-tensile galvanized steel, like a traditional heavy-duty coach, and combined with heavy-duty running components; you can be assured your investment will outlast the opposition.

9. Comfort and Convenience

Remote controlled keyless entry

Luggage space: only the Proma 33 gives you almost 1 cu. mtr. under-floor luggage space as standard, reducing the need to tow a trailer

Cruise Control

Power steering

Radio/CD with PA system

Air Conditioning with individual air outlets for each passenger

When it comes to carrying your valued passengers, the Proma 33 wins on all the important things that matter, such as greater safety, more seating and smoother more stable ride.
