The Higer Range 57seat 45seat 35 41seat seat MIDIBOSS RYDER 28seat MUNRO Each model in the Higer range has been designed for a specific need and adapted for tough Australian conditions. On top of the impressive standard features, the entire range has an extensive array of options available. As an operator, this means you can build the bus or coach to suit your needs perfectly and at a lower cost, both up-front and over time. As an indication of the quality of Higer vehicles, Higer was awarded the Asia BAAV Bus Expo Bus Coach Builder of the Year for 2007, 2008 and 2009. Higer also won the Equipment award and the Safest Brand of Choice award in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Currently the model range has capacities ranging from 28 to 57 seats. Regardless of capacity, each model benefits from intelligent design making use of superior components. The end result is vehicles that not only offer comfort and safety for passengers, but exceptional reliability and operational efficiency for operators.
12.3 metre The 12.3 RoadBoss is a full 57-seat coach that can also be optimised with a mid door or toilet which reduces the seat numbers to a still impressive 53. The 12.3 has all of the features and options of the smaller 12.2m RoadBoss but with the added passenger carrying capacity and high capacity luggage bins. It is powered by a Cummins ISL e5 8.9L rear mount turbo and intercooled common rail diesel, ZF transmission and features WABCO ABS disc brakes, ECAS, air-conditioning, DVD 3 x TV, tinted glass, hopper windows, reverse and security cameras and a VDO tachograph in a standard equipment and options list that is the envy of other bus makers.

This is where Higer s commitment to parts and service, and their industry-leading 5-year driveline warranty on all its new buses and coaches sold in Australia, makes the difference. We have invested heavily in network coverage through dealerships nationwide, and every Higer customer has access to outstanding customer service. Which means that if work does need to be done on a vehicle, downtime is minimised. By combining up-front reliability with exceptional support and a 2 year bumper to bumper + 3 year extended warranty, it s easy to understand why a Higer bus or coach is a wise investment in both the short, and long-term.
