Dear Sir,

It has come to the attention of the VLT Automotive Group that your firm manufactures a vehicle which is similar in appearance to the VLT C5 bus, which was launched ahead of the model you produce under the name Otha R8000. We therefore consider this to be a violation of our copyright and patents regarding this model, and urge you to cease marketing and production of this model immediately.

Should this model continue to be manufactured, we will be forced to take further action.

Mr Keyzer

The above is referred.

IronHope Pte Ltd is founded in late 2002 after it buying the assets of defunct Vota Bus bus builder who closed down in the summer of That year.

Among the assets acquired was the trademark rights of the Brands Sparta, Cityrama and Otha.

It was unfortunate that when we know that Otha Model R8000 similar in appearance to the VLT C5 bus.

As R8000 Otha no longer manufactured on a large scale. IronHope company decided not sold Otha Model R8000 on the market, with immediate effect.

(OOC: Just a bit of a friendly remark, I've been looking through the other offerings you have, and you seem to offer all buses in the sub-$100,000 range. Do bear in mind that the average city bus, a Mercedes Citaro or MAN Lion's City, already cost over $300,000 nowadays. One interesting source is http://www.bustocoach.com/en/content/vehicles-italy which lists all Italian prices in Euro, and of course a lot of other specifications that might come in handy.)

Cityrama Urbana - evolution of an icon

Redefining style and comfort in bus travel

Taking all the best aspects of the award winning Cityrama Urbana9, we’ve made the Cityrama Urbana9 even
more appealing by matching cutting-edge design with a whole series of impressive
new benefits to improve the travelling experience for your passengers.
IronHope’s pioneering technology and innovative expertise combine to give easy access
solutions of the highest standards and mark a new era for the Cityrama Urbana9 range and for the
passenger transport industry.

High fuel costs are driving operators to look for vehicles that can deliver proven fuel
efficiency and as the UK’s only builder of integral buses, we’re constantly striving to
reduce the overall weight of our products to help achieve this.

The strong, low-weight integral construction coupled with industry renowned heavyduty
drivelines, mean that IronHope vehicles deliver class-leading fuel economy.
So not only is the Cityrama Urbana9 both stylish and reliable, it also ensures that you make
significant fuel savings over the whole life of the vehicle. As always, there’s the choice
of SCR engines from Apex AL-Benz or Apex ALs.

We can also offer zero emission full electric, hybrid, bio-methane dual fuel, pure plant oil or
used cooking oil drivelines – all designed to fit within the same space envelope as the
standard diesel powerpacks.

A superior and more economical ride
Superior ride and stability, reduced interior noise levels and increased visual appeal
both inside and out, make the Cityrama Urbana9 the ultimate choice for comfort and style.
Inside, a wide range of seating layouts with generous legroom can be offered,
including three-point belted seats, and a cantilever option in the low floor area is also
available. Colour coordinated interior trim systems provide a comfortable passenger
environment which is tough, durable and easy to clean. Curved handrails from seat
back to roof soften the styling still further and indirect lighting in the contoured ceiling
panels and large curved side widows offer a welcoming feel to encourage increased
passenger numbers.

Noise reduction and ride comfort are a major focal point with enhanced insulation to
the engine bay, floor and ceiling all combining to reduce mechanical and road noise
to class- leading levels. IronHope’s Smoothride suspension system uses the very latest
in shock absorption technology to improve the ride quality and further increase
passenger appeal.

The exterior design of the Cityrama Urbana9 is equally as impressive as the interior.
With its stylish sweeping front profile and shaped quarter windows the SR
provides a low aerodynamic drag that further assists with the IronHope
mission to reduce fuel consumption at every opportunity.

Detailing like the front bumper, which is positioned to assist bus wash
systems, and the corners specifically designed to minimise accident
damage, demonstrate the Cityrama Urbana9’s stylish and practical execution.
Available in two lengths of 9.0 and 9.7 metres, the Cityrama Urbana9 can cope with
the most challenging and problematic routes in both rural and high
density city centre locations.

When it comes to passenger comfort, style, durability and reliability, you
can rest assured the Cityrama Urbana9 is way ahead of the competition.

Our Engines

Whether you are looking for a diesel, alternative fuel or a diesel/electric hybrid to power your city buses, Apex™ has you covered. Our entire range of engines is built from proven core technology that's been continuously refined and improved so that those engines deliver better performance, every day and every route. This includes our proprietary CNG-VTVV™ Turbocharger and an Integrated Exhaust Gas Systems (IEGS™) cooler that's been upgraded for enhanced reliability.

All Apex™ transit bus engines meet EPA 2010 emissions standards. We've utilized our fully integrated technology to simultaneously improve fuel economy and performance, lowering operating costs as we lower emissions to near-zero levels.
Apex™ is the only engine manufacturer to design, develop, manufacture and support nearly every component from the air intake to the exhaust aftertreatment in a totally integrated system. This allows us to optimize critical systems and deliver the right technology in a way that other manufacturers using outside suppliers simply can't match. Current bus engine models include:

• Apex™ AL Series - Ratings range from 280-330 hp with a maximum 1100 lb-ft of torque (Transit & Shuttle Buses). This engine can also be used to power hybrid diesel/electic buses.

• Apex AL-Benz™- Ratings range from 260-350hp with a maximum 1000 lb-ft of torque (School Buses).

• Trouve™ 98/ 48- Ratings range from 200-325 hp and a maximum 750 lb-ft of peak torque (School Buses). This engine can also be used to power hybrid diesel/electric buses.

Our diesel engines for 2010 have added Careful Catalytic Cutback (3C™) to the Apex™ After treatment System. This change has allowed us to reduce the amount of cooled (IEGS™) into the power cylinder, and recalibrate our diesels so they are more responsive to throttle input with equal or better fuel economy than previous models.

Handling
The Prison Bus performs much better than the Bus due to its shorter wheelbase and lighter construction. It has moderately good suspension and steering for a vehicle of its class, but given it is an armored vehicle it suffers from poor acceleration, although it can achieve considerably good top speeds. Its still heavy weight also allows for the ability to push aside smaller vehicles with ease. Also the Prison Bus is 4WD, which makes it a good performer off-road and on rough uneven terrain.

KEBAL-S™ bulletproof-class material

The monocoque hull of the Unicorn 10 is of all welded steel armour construction that provides the occupants with protection from 7.62 × 51 mm ball small arms fire and shell splinters.

The underside of the hull has been specifically designed to provide a high level of protection against mines. Appliqué armour can be fitted to provide a higher level of protection. Bullet/splinter proof windows are fitted as standard for all round situational awareness.
