TORSUS Production, Skeleton manufacturing - Man Factory

TORSUS Skeleton manufacturing at Man Factory
MAN Truck & Bus are the experts in producing high-quality buses and coaches of all kinds and the skeleton chassis they will build for our PRAETORIANs will be stronger and stiffer than ever before. We couldn’t wish for a better collaboration partner to develop the very best heavy-duty off-road bus.”
Using similar processes and techniques to those used in the manufacturing of its own buses, MAN Truck & Bus use protective gases during the precision welding process of the PRAETORIAN’s skeleton, before it undergoes cataphoretic painting for protection against corrosion, then varnishing, and finishing with a final coat of paint. All of this ensures that the product is of the highest quality possible when it leaves the factory, before heading to TORSUS’ purpose-built factory in Horné Srnie, Slovakia, for final assembly.
Designed to transport up to 35 people and their equipment safely across the world's harshest environments, the PRAETORIAN is a 10-tonne 4x4 off-road bus based on an upgraded, heavy-duty MAN TGM chassis. It is powered by a 6.9L six-cylinder MAN diesel engine with 286bhp and 1,150Nm of torque, as well as a heavy-duty 4x4 off-road transmission - sufficient for the bus to easily climb a 65 percent incline. The PRAETORIAN is engineered to master any terrain, in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world.
MAN Truck & Bus will build the TORSUS PRAETORIAN skeleton at its Starachowice plant, in Poland
This new agreement strengthens the cooperation which the two manufacturers began in 2017
The TORSUS PRAETORIAN is a 4x4 off-road bus based on an upgraded, heavy-duty MAN TGM chassis, which is built at the MAN plant in Kraków and transferred to the Starachowice plant for further manufacture, designed and engineered for use in the world's harshest environments
MAN’s 300,000 square-metre, state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing facility produces more than 1,600 buses and 520 bus chassis a year
The PRAETORIAN’s welded chassis consists of 780 components, including 273-metres of 1182kg steel profiles and 351kg of sheet metal parts, and receives a three-stage coating process for maximum corrosion protection
The powerful 286bhp, 6.9-litre MAN diesel engine, all-wheel drive system with locking front and rear differentials, air suspension, and 469mm of ground clearance ensure that the PRAETORIAN can be used anywhere in the world, on the toughest terrain, and in all weather conditions

Interesting. Amazing how the entire bus is "Hand Made", especially the welds. Several cars with similar production volumes use robotic arms to weld the chassis.
