Setra has made initial sales of its new S417 luxury motorcoach. Cyr Bus Lines in Old Town, Maine, ordered the first two coaches (serial numbers 001 and 002) to its existing fleet of 25 vehicles. Premier Coach in Burlington, Vt., is replacing its existing fleet with 30 of the S417s. Both motorcoach operators are long-time Setra fleet operators. Delivery is scheduled for sometime in 2003. The S417 features leading-edge technological systems, including an integrated multiplex electronic system.
