Setra – other coaches outside the named ranges from the S 80 to the double-decker S 328 DT: type code HD, DT and UL, six- to eight-cylinder diesel engines
This page gathers Setra coaches and buses the register could not assign to a named range. Setra – the brand name stands for self-supporting construction (Selbsttragend) – traces back to Kässbohrer Fahrzeugwerke in Ulm, which built Germany's first self-supporting coach with the S 8 in 1951; since 1995 the brand has belonged to Daimler's EvoBus group. In the model names, HD stands for high-decker, DT for double-decker such as the S 228 DT and the S 328 DT, and UL for the lower-built underfloor coach such as the S 315 UL.

The register lists here 15 versions with displacements from 6,130 to 14,620 cm³ from five- to eight-cylinder diesel engines, unladen weights from 6,435 to 18,285 kg, gross weights from 7,500 to 25,000 kg, lengths from 6,300 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,550 mm.
Alongside Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Neoplan, Setra is one of Europe's leading coach makers; the double-decker ranges compete with the Neoplan Skyliner on long-distance coach lines because of their high seating capacity.
On a used purchase, the engine's operating hours and service history, the condition of the air suspension and braking system, rust on the underbody and luggage hatches, and on double-deckers the tightness of the upper row of windows count; parts run through the Daimler Buses network.
