INTERIORS
No Compromise
The higher our expectations, the less we are ready to compromise. In this perspective, all H-Series interiors now radiate a warm atmosphere brought by the prevailing use of cream beige on the ceiling, parcel racks, and window frames. The drivers cabin can be equipped with either a luxurious two-tone instrument panel or a black instrument panel, each enhanced with aluminum trim. Moreover, designers, using attractive colors, sophisticated patterns, and refined materials, have created the H-Series Collection: a lineup of harmonious and elegant interiors that are now offered on top of the regular fabrics and leathers available on the market.
Ultimate Line
Make a statement with an assembly of the finest materials. Perforated leathers, aluminum finish, and real wood appointments make for four sumptuous decors: Boston, Wall Street, Dallas, and Harvard.

SCR Advantages
Near-zero emissions
Volvo engineers created a system that delivers near-zero emissions of particulates and NOx. Volvos D13 engine with advanced SCR is a highly efficient solution that reduces diesel emissions and improves air quality in accordance with EPA 10 regulations.
No active regeneration
A DPF accumulates particulate matter that periodically must be burned off using a process called regeneration. With Volvos 2010 SCR technology, this regeneration occurs automaticallyand the driver proceeds without even being aware the process is taking place. Under normal driving conditions, theres never a need to park and perform an active regeneration.
Allison
Allison Bus Series fully automatic transmissions help keep your vehicles and your business on schedule with maximum operating economies, improved vehicle performance and better passenger comfort. Transmission features include proven reliability and durability, life cycle value, no power interrupts during shift changes, increased shifting performance, faster acceleration, and greater operating flexibility.
Innovative Vertical Installation for Safety and Ease of Maintenance All the advantages of vertical installation.
Thanks to our unique vertical installation and rooftop diffuser mount, the SCR and DPF system produces less heat in the engine compartment. It also provides easier accessibility for safer maintenance. In this vertical configuration, the DPF and SCR components and sensors are better protected from damaging dirt, dust, water, etc. The innovative diffuser system reduces exhaust peak temperature by 50% at 6 inches, and prevents water from infiltrating the exhaust line. The roof flush mount improves the appearance of the coach.
At Prevost, safety is a key priority, and the H-Series is no exception. Safety drives our innovation process and our new H-Series motorcoach focuses on protecting passengers and driver.
The Prevost Electronic Stability Program applies brakes on appropriate wheels to help correct the orientation of the vehicle.

Prevost Electronic Stability Program: A Helping Hand when the Unexpected Happens
Prevost has gone a step further with the Prevost Electronic Stability Program.The system provides better vehicle control by reacting more quickly in adverse conditions in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations. The Prevost Electronic Stability Program electronically compares performance models to actual vehicle movement, monitoring wheel speed, steering angle, lateral acceleration, and yaw to help avoid loss of control and rollover. This safety feature helps the driver reduce speed, keep the vehicle in proper alignment, and reduce the tendency for the coach to slide. It also provides improved stabilitya safety advantage in high friction conditions involving curves, sudden lane changes, and obstacle avoidance maneuvers. The Prevost Electronic Stability Program increases protection against coach rollovers and provides better control of the coach, which are very important for safety, operator revenues, customer perceptions, and overall operations.
SAFETY

Prevost AWARE
Prevost AWARE is an innovative new system which advances Prevosts committment to safety. Prevost AWARE features include: Adaptive Cruise When cruise control is on, AWARE automatically adjusts the cruise speed of the coach to maintain a safe following distance, taking into consideration the position of the vehicle ahead. The system automatically returns the coach to the original cruise speed when it is safe to do so. AWARE will decrease speed to try to maintain adequate distance, and if the system realizes that this intervention will not be sufficient, it will activate the Impact Alert to tell the driver to apply full braking. Impact Alert This feature will alert the driver if the distance between coach and vehicle ahead closes too quickly, giving the driver an opportunity to take action. Impact Alert is always active and protecting the coach (in cruise or not). Following Distance Alert Reminds the driver to keep a safe following distance by indicating when the coach is following too closely to the vehicle ahead.
Allows drivers to stay in cruise control longer, increasing fuel economy Provides timely information to help drivers avoid collisions Reminds drivers about safe driving practices and encourage good driving habits System is integrated into the dashboard, improving driver attention Increased passenger and driver satisfaction

Some controls that are used frequently by drivers onlycruise control, shifting, engine brake,and electric sun visor have been moved to the steering wheel. Shared controls are located to the drivers right for easy access by the tour leader. A pneumatic steering column and angled steering wheel keep recessed dials readable regardless of steering wheel position. Putting vehicle functions at drivers fingertips lets them keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, helping to increase safety for all on board. Its simplicity within easy reach!
Backup Camera
Focused on increasing safety and maneuverability, Prevosts Back-Up Camera System takes the driver guesswork out of backing up, parking in crowded areas, and monitoring behind the vehicle. The system gives drivers a clear view of obstacles to the rear of the coach which may not easily be seen by mirrors alone. The weather resistant camera is resilient for all weather environments.
