Spartan RV Chassis, a brand of The Shyft Group, is highlighting its newly optimized Connected Coach experience, a suite of advanced interactive technologies that the company said is engineered to keep the driver’s focus forward, limiting distractions and improving comfort and confidence at the wheel.
The technology is on display at the Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa on Jan. 18-22.
The Connected Coach integrated experience includes a Digital Dash, Tri-Pod Steering Wheel and what the company said is the industry’s best-in-class comprehensive safety system, the Spartan RV Chassis Advanced Protection System. The systems link together, creating an interactive, connected experience for the motorcoach driver. Driver experience is further enhanced with Premier Drive, the Spartan RV exclusive proprietary suspension system, featuring an all-new 20,000-pound independent front suspension, complete with custom-tuned shocks for bump absorption and best-in-class wheel cut for outstanding maneuverability.
Engineered end-to-end for superior ride and handling, the Premier Drive system, combined with the Connected Coach, enables a more effortless engagement with technology for the coach operator.
“We’ve been engineering solutions exclusively for the luxury Class A diesel motorcoach industry for nearly 40 years because we believe our customers should never settle for anything less than the best,” said Steve Guillaume, president of Shyft Specialty Vehicles. “Introducing advanced technology systems like Connected Coach and Premier Drive that enhance safety as well as the driving experience is how we ensure our chassis is the ride of choice for our Class A diesel motorcoach owners, as well as our OEM partners.
“Luxury travel and worry-free travel are one in the same, which is why in addition to innovation, we’ve invested heavily in training and personalized customer service,” Guillaume added. “We have an expansive network of first-class authorized service centers across North America and we launched our latest go-to-market brand, Red Diamond Aftermarket Solutions, to ensure our owners and OEM partners as well as owners of other types of RVs in the market felt supported every mile of every journey.”
