THE NEW MILLENIUM
URBAN BODYWORK
Habit is HISPANO's proposal for the new winds of change that are blowing
through our markets. It is our response to a latent need - a need to
advance and to evolve towards new designs and new developments in bodywork.
This evolution has a single aim in mind: to create a body which offers
companies the degree of innovation and profitability they are looking
for and makes it, from its very birth, a benchmark for the rest of the
sector.
HISPANO AND PININFARINA, THE DUET
The collaboration of Studi Pininfarina in the design of this bodywork
is something obvious. The habit combines avant-garde flair and design;
its stylish, sober lines give it a modern look that is ideal for the
new century towns and cities. The larger windowed sides give the bus
a spectacularly clean line which is further enhanced by the unique design
of the front and rear. In short, habit brings a hitherto unknown touch
of renovation and an avant-garde design to our city streets.
A PERFECT WORK PLACE
Special attention has been paid to the driver's area in the design and
development of habit, taking into account the very smallest details
and carrying out different ergonomic studies. The result is a totally
separate driver's area which is clearly differentiated from the rest
of the interior, to the extent that it even has separate air-conditioning
with temperature control.
Our aim has been to provide the driver with an ideal work place, one
which is comfortable, accessible and safe. Habit is indeed a prime example
of these three characteristics.
COMFORT AND ACCESSIBILITY
With all the noise, fumes, traffic jams and stress, the current panorama
in our towns and cities definitely does not contribute to improve our
well-being. For this reason, from the very moment that public transport
users board habit, until they reach their destination, it is obvious
that every single aspect has been designed with both comfort and ease
of accessibility in mind and, although they may not be aware of it,
the design's passive and active security systems also ensure their total
safety.
There is no doubt that all of these characteristics help make habit's
passenger area the most perfectly designed on the market. In short it
is the best excuse to opt for public instead of private transport.
PROFITABILITY
Due to the daily wear and tear to which urban buses are subjected
to throughout their working life, they have to undergo regular maintenance
and, in the event of breakdowns or damage to these vehicles, the corresponding
repairs.By improving both the speed and the ease with which these preventive
and corrective maintenance operations can be carried out, we are helping
to increase the profitability of the vehicle, reducing times when the
bus is not operative.
