A student's life is tough, but going to school could be tougher, especially if students reside in locations where buses might get buried in sand to the frame. But here's a school bus that could even reach students where road is too rough or nonexistent. This is the new Torsus Praetorian School Bus, a 4x4 transporter that could ease a bus driver's off-road blues.

4x4 Heavy Duty All-Terrain Bus

The Torsus Praetorian is actually is 4x4 heavy-duty all-terrain bus. It can handle the off-road like no other buses can. Measuring 342.5 inches in length, 100 inches in width and 141.7 inches in height, the Praetorian can be modified to meet customer requirements in different sectors, including mining, search and rescue, as well as tourism.

Now, Torsus is catering to the education sector and has created a School Bus version of the Praetorian. Based on an upgraded heavy-duty MAN chassis, the Praetorian is powered by a MAN Euro VI diesel engine delivering 290 hp of max output and 848 lb-ft of peak torque. Likewise, it has a higher ride height, massive ground clearance, LED lights, and a steel skeleton.

Thus, the Praetorian School Bus is more than capable of tackling muddy roads and carries up to 35 students residing in rugged areas without compromising safety and comfort. A field trip to off-road locations can be much safer when the Praetorian School Bus is used. Riding on uprated off-road Michelin tires, the School Bus version features special coating on its body parts.
