Neoplan – further models: the collection page of the Stuttgart bus builder beyond the named ranges, from the N208 minibus to the N516 SHD double-decker, 2,384 to 14,620 cm³, up to 25,000 kg gross weight
This page brings together Neoplan vehicles not assigned to any named range. Neoplan was founded in Stuttgart in 1935 by Gottlob Auwärter and ranks among the traditional German bus builders; the models appear in the vehicle registers as trucks because buses fall there under the heavy commercial vehicle class. In the type designation, N stands for Neoplan and the following number for the series – N208 as a minibus, N516 SHD as a double-decker touring coach (Super-Hoch-Doppeldecker) – while NL marks low-floor city buses such as the N116-NL.

The register lists ten versions with six- to eight-cylinder engines displacing 2,384 to 14,620 cm³. Kerb weights range from 3,750 to 16,250 kg, gross vehicle weights from 4,500 to 25,000 kg, lengths from 6,390 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,350 to 2,500 mm, a spread running from a compact minibus to a large double-decker.
For decades Neoplan ranked among the most innovative European bus makers and, with models such as the double-decker Skyliner and the Spaceliner, shaped the image of the long-distance coach. The vehicles gathered here show the breadth of the marque, from city and minibuses to touring and double-decker coaches for long-distance service.
When buying used double-deckers, the seals of the large glazed areas and the condition of the staircase structure deserve particular attention, as does corrosion of the floor and wheel arches. As with any coach, the engine, gearbox and brakes should be checked for oil leaks and even braking, and on low-floor models the kneeling system as well. Parts for the engine and drivetrain are usually still available through the independent bus parts trade, while body and interior parts are often only obtainable from salvage or by special order.
