Empresa Montes, a transport operator between Madrid and Alcobendas, opts for Castrosua and acquires its first Magnus E to modernize its fleet.
Grupo Castrosua delivers the first Magnus E to the transport operator Empresa Montes, which is part of the Regional Transport Consortium of Madrid. The Magnus E delivered to Montes has a low-entry body on a Scania KUB 4×2 chassis. They are 12.8m long and have two double-leaf doors for greater accessibility.
The unit features 38 IRSI City Lite seats, space for 36 standing passengers, and an area designated for a wheelchair equipped with the necessary elements to offer maximum safety and comfort to the passenger. It has an automatic ramp for access to this space. It also features air conditioning and convection throughout the vehicle and incorporates LED interior lighting, route displays, and pre-installation for an Advanced Operations System, as well as ticket cancelling and vending machines.
The driver’s cabin is ergonomically designed for comfortable and efficient driving. All necessary controls, such as air conditioning, demisting, radio, and route displays, are housed in the upper dashboard unit, easily accessible without obstructing the driver’s visibility.
The history of Empresa Montes dates back to 1933 as an operator of transport for civilians, excursions, and companies. All this while balancing regular passenger transport between Madrid and Alcobendas, as well as facing the major urban developments of the fifties, sixties, and seventies, adapting lines, schedules, and frequencies until the creation of the current Regional Transport Consortium of Madrid in 1985.
