Higer Scania Touring HD: coach with a 12,742 cc six-cylinder engine, a gross vehicle weight of 19,000 kg, a length of 12,000 mm and a top speed of 100 km/h
Higer is a Chinese bus manufacturer based in Suzhou that builds, among other things, bodies for the Scania Touring, a coach whose bodywork is produced by Higer and combined with a Scania chassis and drivetrain. The name "Scania Touring HD" refers to exactly this combination of Chinese bodywork and Swedish engineering.

The six-cylinder engine of 12,742 cc drives a coach 12,000 mm long, 2,550 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 5,850 mm. Gross vehicle weight is 19,000 kg and unladen weight 13,300 kg, leaving around 5,700 kg for passengers, luggage and fittings. Top speed is set at 100 km/h.
With this length and the high-floor layout typical of coaches, the Scania Touring HD falls into class M3 for passenger vehicles over 5 tonnes. It is built for long-distance travel, luggage space and seating comfort rather than the short stop spacing of a city bus.
For a used coach of this size, the condition of the air conditioning, the tightness of the luggage compartment flaps, and wear on the door mechanism and brakes all matter. With a six-cylinder engine of over 12 litres, it is also worth checking the turbocharger and exhaust after-treatment, since these components rack up high running hours in long-distance service, and a coach that has spent its life on motorway routes has usually accumulated far more engine hours than its odometer reading might suggest.
