NEOPLAN CELEBRATES FIFTH ANNIVERSARY

In celebrating its fifth anniversary, Albrecht Auwarter, chairman of the board of Gottlob Auwarter GMBH & Company, the parent firm of Neoplan USA Corporation, reviews Neoplan's success in the U.S. transit market, its future plans for increasing its role as a major bus manufacturer not only in the U.S., but throughout the world and its goal to make a high profit to finance the development of new technology by being competitive and financially strong. Among those things which were either introduced or discussed during the celebration were: a standard 40-ft tour bus representing Neoplan's 4th generation bus which is an attempt to standardize key components throughout body and style especially for the U.S. market, a new small bus for airport application called "The Neoporter" which may well be the start of a new generation of light weight buses as well as changing out for transit buses already in use in the U.S. which were identified as having cracked frames.
