Lote/Batch info: 1/1 - 3 total (611-613)

Longitud/Length: 12m

Servicio/Service: 2007 - 2020

Info (SP): Como es costumbre cuando Castrosua lanza una nueva carrocería, Guaguas municipales suele adquirir varias unidades con distinta motorización. Al poco de salir el City Versus, Guaguas realizo un pedido de varias unidades motorizadas por Scania, MAN e Irisbus. 6 fueron las unidades motorizadas por Irisbus, y 3 de esas fueron de 12 metros. No obstante dichos vehiculos tuvieron un resultado muy pésimo en la empresa. Al igual que todos los vehiculos de 12 metros que la empresa poseía con motorización Iveco/Irisbus, también estas tuvieron que ser destinadas a rutas llanas como la 1, 2 o 17 debido a la gran falta de potencia que padecían estas unidades. De echo estos vehiculos fueron famosos por siempre dejar una enorme estela de humo negro cada vez que aceleraban. Tal fue el mal resultado que llegados a 2020, todos los vehiculos de todas la carrocerías que poseía la empresa y fueron motorizados con la gama CityClass de Iveco fueron retirados a la vez. Las unidades 611 & 613 fueron despiezadas y la unidad 612 descansa desde Diciembre de 2020 en deterioro dentro de una nave industrial.

Info (EN): As it is habitual when Castrosua launches a new model, Guaguas Municipales tends to place a few orders of it powered by different brands. Soon after launching the City Versus range, Guaguas Municipales ordered vehicles powered by Irisbus, Scania and MAN. 6 where the total vehicles ordered from Irisbus, and out of those 3 were 12m long. Nonetheless these vehicles had an appalling result inside the company. Just like every other 12m long Irisbus/Iveco vehicle the company ever bought, these also could only be assigned routes on a flat landscape such as routes 1, 2 or 17 due to the big lack of power they struggled with. In fact these vehicles claimed infamy by always leaving a massive cloud of black smoke after they accelerated. Performance was so terrible that by the end of 2020, every single vehicle from all coach builders the company had from Iveco's CityClass range were retired all together. Units 611 & 613 were stripped apart at a garage and unit 612 rests in deterioration in an industrial complex.
