As its preparing to celebrate its 80th corporate anniversary, Greenville, Pa.’s Anderson Coach and Travel recently purchased the 500th Temsa TS35 motorcoach delivered in the U.S. from CH Bus Sales.
The 500th TS35 is a 40 passenger luxury coach that sports a metallic black graphics package. Powered by a Cummins 345 HP ISL engine driving through an Allison B500 six-speed transmission, it’s equipped with 110-volt outlets, USB ports, an REI Elite Entertainment system with 15-inch monitors and a woodgrain rubber floor. Like all Temsa’s delivered in the U.S., it has a stainless steel monocoque frame, ample underfloor luggage space and the latest in safety technology.
“We have been very pleased with the customer satisfaction, performance and size of the 35-foot Temsa. With the demise of the 47 passenger coach, we began shopping for an alternative to fill the mid-sized vehicle need, because there continues to be demand from customers for a coach appropriate for smaller groups,” said Anderson’s President Doug Anderson.
CH Bus Sales LLC is the exclusive distributor of Temsa Motorcoaches in the U.S. and Canada, offering two fully-integral mid-size motorcoaches — the TS 35 and the TS 30 — as well as the full-size TS 45 coach. CH Bus Sales offers strong dependable customer care through full-service facilities in Orlando Fla.; Fort Worth, Texas; and Montville, N.J., in addition to a network of 14 North American authorized service centers. The company also provides dedicated after-sales support including training, parts availability, warranty and technical support.
Premiums remain elevated. Underwriting scrutiny is intense. And claims costs continue to rise at historic levels. Behind those numbers lies a complex mix of legal, medical, and cultural forces reshaping the commercial landscape.
The company said it has remained the most widely purchased model in the new coach market across the US and Canada, according to historical data from the Motorcoach Builders Survey conducted by the American Bus Association
A phased approach to technology, in-house capabilities, and workforce investment is helping transportation leaders break the reactive cycle and build more resilient, revenue-focused operations.
The company's flagship H3-45 is also the best-selling 45-foot motorcoach in North America, according to vehicle registration data from S&P Global Mobility (Polk).
