Making its official debut in 1997, Kast has earned a good reputation among customers in the past two decades. However, time and current situations both demand a thorough transformation of Kast.
Recently, Golden Dragon officially rolled out a new version of bus product, Kast premium business coach, which well represents the company’s latest achievements in its business upgrading.
Built on the success of its predecessors, Kast premium business coach boasts better acceleration performance and generates much less noise. A trial operation of Kast premium business coach shows that it takes less than six seconds for the vehicle to accelerate from a complete standstill to a speed of 40 km/h and less than ten seconds from 0 to 60 km/h. In addition, passengers barely experience any sudden unstable movements while on board.
In recent years, Golden Dragon has been making a great deal of efforts in cutting the noise generated by its vehicles. While develop Kast premium business coach, Golden Dragon conducted a thorough investigation of engine mount bracket, chassis and various joints of the vehicle body and found out the best suitable composite materials to insulate the noise sources. A noise test show that Kast premium business coach has cut the noise level by an average of 7 dB compared with that of a diesel Kast.
With an obvious sedan-like dashboard and luxury furnishings in the passenger areas, Kast premium business coach assumes a strong business air and immediately inspires awe. Some small details such as the color of the dashboard, the size of the glass window and the shape of the air outlets, speak volume of Golden Dragon’s relentless pursuit of high craftsmanship.
Targeting the high-end market means that Golden Dragon must ditch the diesel-powered coach theme and seek cleaner energy sources. The bus maker later found a new engine provider, the U.S.-based PSI Corp. The two parties soon realized that they shared the same goals and they started strategic cooperation in 2015. Not long after, Kast premium business coach, equipped with tailor-made 4.8 L engine and six-speed automatic transmission gearbox, was revealed to the global market. With its engine and transmission gearbox coming from the same manufacturer, the new coach delivers more powerful performances and achieves higher fuel economy.
Another highlight of Kast premium business coach is its slim body. The vehicle has successfully lost its weight by nearly 400 kg and it weighs only 4.3 tons. With such an agile body, it is also equipped with an eddy current retarder and front & rear stabilizer bars, both of which have significantly raised the safety standards of the vehicle when it is braking and steering at at a high speed.
