Vivacity is the leading range in the medium-short size bus category, ideal for services running in historic town centres, in small and medium-sized cities, and in general urban settings with difficult traffic conditions.
Vivacity combines compact dimensions with high loading capacity and low fuel consumption. The new Euro 6 six-cylinder FPT engine improves the vehicle's already excellent performance, bringing a clear benefit in terms of polluting emissions, noise, and vibration.
