Torsus' Praetorian Is the World's Most Rugged School Bus
When your school has no snow days.
Czech bus manufacturer Torsus has just released news on its most rugged bus to date. Named the Praetorian, after the imperial bodyguards of Rome, the off-road school bus can accommodate 35 passengers and is powered by a 6.9-liter, 6-cylinder diesel engine that puts out 286 horsepower and 1,150 Nm torque.
What sets this apart from typical school buses is its 400mm chassis-to-axle clearance, its 900mm wading depth, LED light bars, front locking differential, and chunky off-road tires. While there’s no official pricing for this school bus version, a similar build on Torsus’ site is priced at €170,000 EUR (approximately $199,000 USD). Head over to the Torsus website to learn more.
