Hispano bags contract for 800 buses

MUMBAI: Hispano Maghreb, the fully owned subsidiary of Hispano Carrocera, in which Tata Motors has a 21 per cent stake, has bagged its largest-ever single contract to supply 800 urban buses to Casablanca's urban transport operator, M'Dina Bus. The first batch of 200 urban buses will be delivered in 2006 and similar numbers for the next three years. These buses will be Hispano's Habit buses, 12 metres in length, built on Iveco and Scania chassis, which Hispano has been using regularly. Hispano Maghreb was established in 2000 and has rapidly become the dominant luxury bus and coach bodybuilder in Morocco.
