Construction features

[edit]

Karosa B 951 is a model of the Karosa 900 series. The B 951 is unified with city bus models such as the B 952 and the B 961. The body was assembled to the skeleton, which has undergone a dip stage, sheets were galvanized and painted and then to have it installed additional components. The body is semi-self-supporting with frame and engine with automatic gearbox is placed in the rear part. The engine drives only the rear axle. The front and rear axles are solid. All the axles are mounted on air suspension. On the right side are three doors (first are narrower than middle doors). Inside are used plastic Vogelsitze or Ster seats. The driver's cab is separated from the rest of the vehicle by a glazed partition. In the middle part is room for a pram or wheelchair.
