Construction features

Karosa B 931 is a model of the Karosa 900 series. The B 931 is derived from the Karosa B 731 city bus, and also unified with city bus models such as the B 941 and the B 932. The body is semi-self-supporting with frame and engine with automatic gearbox in the rear part. The engine drives only the rear axle. The front axle is independent, rear axle is solid. All axles are mounted on Air suspension. On the right side are three doors (first are narrower than middle doors). Inside are used plastic Vogelsitze or Fainsa seats. The driver's cab is separated from the rest of the vehicle by a glazed partition (prototype BK1 made in the year 1995 didn't have this partition). In the middle part is room for a pram or wheelchair.
