Clad in Skylander R25 Vision Body, PO Pancasona Wisata Releases 3 New Hino RK 280
Perusahaan Otobus (PO) Pancasona Wisata, a Lampung-based bus operator, has officially strengthened its tourism fleet by simultaneously launching three brand-new buses. This step serves as clear proof of PO Pancasona Wisata’s commitment to delivering modern comfort and aesthetics for travelers seeking more elegant and classy tourism journeys.
The three latest buses stand out impressively with their Skylander R25 Vision bodies, crafted by New Armada, the coachbuilder from Magelang. The Skylander R25 Vision is one of the premium flagship lines, representing a design evolution from the previous Skylander series.
The term “Vision” in this variant refers to its superior wide visibility, thanks to the single-piece windshield (single glass) design with slimmer pillars, providing maximum visibility for both the driver and passengers.
The exterior design adopts a futuristic style with sharp and modern lines, enhanced by full LED headlights and taillights that give a luxurious impression while cruising down the road.
The new PO Pancasona Wisata buses are dominated by a solid and elegant maroon color. The dynamic impression is strengthened by minimalist yet bold livery graphics that flow seamlessly from front to rear.
The name “Pancasona Wisata” accompanied by the “Wonderful Indonesia” logo highlights its identity as a national tourism support fleet. Chrome details on several parts of the body add an exclusive feel, a hallmark of the Skylander R25 Vision.
Upon entering the cabin, passengers are welcomed by a thoughtfully designed interior. The bus is equipped with spacious and ergonomic 2-2 reclining seats.
Each seat comes with armrests and integrated USB ports, making it easy for passengers to charge their electronic devices during long trips.
Entertainment is guaranteed with two large LED Smart TVs positioned strategically, plus a mineral water dispenser in the cabin.
The most unique feature is the small disco-style lights on the ceiling, which can create a lively and festive atmosphere — perfectly suited for tour groups who want a more vibrant cabin environment.
This beautiful design and luxurious interior are solidly built on the Hino RK 280 chassis, a proven rear-engine bus chassis known for its toughness and reliability on Indonesian roads.
This chassis is a favorite among many bus entrepreneurs due to its efficient maintenance and powerful performance. Its advantage lies in the engine that meets Euro 4 emission standards, making it environmentally friendly yet highly responsive.
The Hino RK 280 is powered by a J08E-WD turbo diesel engine, a 6-cylinder inline configuration with a 7,684 cc capacity, capable of delivering a maximum power of 278 hp at 2,500 rpm and peak torque of 823 Nm at 1,500 rpm.
With its luxurious body, comprehensive facilities, and reliable engine specifications, PO Pancasona Wisata’s latest fleet is certain to handle various travel routes with stability, safety, and efficiency.
