The Starbus is equipped for night driving. The headlamps are designed so as to provide a dip-beam, which makes the quality of illumination in front of the bus better. The exemplary ergonomics of the driver's cabin offer the best possible conditions for concentration and mental alertness for the driver. The driver's seat is mechanically suspended which allows to position the seat as per his requirements.

The new suspension system ensures a noisless journey to commuters and better manoeuvrability to the driver.

The Cummins diesel engine has the capacity to generate up to 125HP.

Another feature that is included in the Starbus is the clutch booster mechanism, which ensures minimising the fatigue of the driver.
