| Chronology | |
The Renault R312 is a class of buses produced by the bus division of Renault Trucks from 1987 to 1996. It succeeded the SC 10, which was originally a Saviem design from the 1960s.[1]
The 12m long bus is rear-engined, powered by a 6-cylinder Renault turbodiesel engine with a displacement of 9,834 cc available with either 152 kW (207 PS; 204 hp) or 187 kW (254 PS; 251 hp). By placing the engine in the rear, the interior was flat over the vehicle's whole length.
The bus was popular in France, with over 4000 produced, and the Paris RATP operating over 1500 during the 1990s.[2] In Australia, the Renault PR100.3 has the same visual appearance as the R312.
