RDD - Deep Drop

The Cost-Effective Alternative for Flat-Floor City-Bus Design.

BRIST offers a range of rigid deep drop axles with axle load capacities ranging from 4.2t to 6.0t, designed specifically for city-bus applications.

These deep drop axles are engineered to optimize the gap between the engine sump and axle beam while maintaining sufficient ground clearance. Their design ensures a seamless fit into tight spaces, enabling compatibility with flat-floor layouts at the front and preventing engine collisions in its lowered position.

Proven in the field, BRIST deep drop axles have demonstrated exceptional reliability and performance under diverse and challenging climate and terrain conditions across Europe and Asia.
