高速道路網の拡充に伴い観光や夜間長距離の移動手段に高速バスを利用する人たちが増えている。それに応えるようにシート配列や化粧空間装備を充実。座席と通路の段差をなくし、乗降口階段をラウンドさせ優しく誘導するなど女性やお年寄り、子供に快適な空間を提供。外観は前方の開放的な室内空間を彷彿させる特徴的なデザインにまとめている。(選定委員/伊奈史朗)

A full-model transformation was carried out to this heavy-duty bus in August 2005 as an integrated model by Japanese manufacturer, Hino Motors and Isuzu. After multiple annual roll-outs, this newest model was released in June 2017. As for the latest improvements: the wind resisting aerodynamic form of the bus continues, characteristically, to become ever more advanced; safety components, as well as environmental performance, are upgraded to our current needs; for a more relax- ing driving and passenger experience, the interior is improved by using premium materials, especially in the design of the passenger seats. Furthermore, in response to the increasing demand for intercity night-buses, the seats can be fully reclined to support long journeys, and the restroom is designed with sink and lighting that amount to an elegant, relaxing interior.

Along with the expansion of Japanese highway, the demand for highway buses has been increasing, for both tourism purposes and long distance travel overnight. In response, the passenger seat design and restroom furnishing have been impro- ved. By removing the steps between the aisle and the seat, and by rounding the staircases at the entrance, it provides comfortable space for women, elderly, and children. Its external appearance has a unique design, suggestive of its widely opened interior space. (Selection Committee / INA Shiro)
