Viamar Autocares 62 – IVECO Magelys


Coach operated by Viamar Autocares seen at Gare do Oriente, Lisboa, in August 2019. This coach with fleet number 62 is an IVECO Magelys registered in 2015. It has an overall length of 40 ft and uses the 294 kW (400 hp) IVECO Cursor 9 engine. Established in 1965 and based in Salamanca, Viamar Autocares operates regular services, regular specialized services and occasional services. In 2018, National Express (United Kingdom) forms a partnership with Ouibus (France) and ALSA (Spain) to provide hundreds of destinations in Europe. Here, we see this Iveco Magelys in one of these regular international services, the Paris–Lisboa, wearing the "Club Deportivo Guijuelo" paint scheme. The IVECO Magelys family includes the Magelys Lounge, the Magelys Pro and the Magelys Line, in lengths of 40 or 41.9 ft. 

Successor to the Renault/Irisbus Iliade in 2007 and the IVECO/Irisbus Domino in 2011, the Irisbus Magelys is a coach featuring a self-supporting body with an audacious design, offering a large glass surface. We can find it in both touring services and in regular long-distance services. Produced from 2007 to 2019, it will initially be offered in three versions – HD (High Deck), with 40 ft or 42 ft, and HDH (High Deck [extra] High), with 3 axles and 45.3 ft, offering expanded in 2010 with the Pro version, aimed at regular long-distance services. In 2013, the Magelys assumes the IVECO identity. The longest version is discontinued and the remaining versions are offered in three equipment and finish levels – Lounge, Pro and Line. The IVECO engines, mounted longitudinally at the rear, are offered in three options – initially, 330 hp (242 kW) Cursor 8 and 331 hp (450 kW) Cursor 10 and, from 2013, 294 hp (400 kW) Cursor 9. In 2016, the IVECO Magelys Pro is awarded the title of "International Coach of the Year". Despite its qualities and its bold and appealing design, the Irisbus/IVECO Magelys will remain an unusual presence on European roads, progressively losing ground to competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz Travego or the Setra TopClass. In 2020, its place in the IVECO range is taken by the versatile IVECO Evadys. ●

Tem um comprimento total de 12,20 m e utiliza o motor IVECO Cursor 9 de 294 kW (400 hp).

Em 2018, a National Express (Reino Unido) forma uma parceria com a Ouibus (França) e a ALSA (Espanha) para disponibilizar centenas de destinos na Europa. Aqui, vemos este IVECO Magelys num desses serviços regulares internacionais, o Paris–Lisboa, envergando o esquema de pintura do "Club Deportivo Guijuelo". A família IVECO Magelys inclui o Magelys Lounge, o Magelys Pro e o Magelys Line, em comprimentos de 12,20 ou 12,77 m.

Sucessor do Renault/Irisbus Iliade em 2007 e do IVECO/Irisbus Domino em 2011, o Irisbus Magelys é um autocarro de carroçaria autoportante com um estilo audacioso, oferecendo uma ampla superfície vidrada. Podemos encontrá-lo tanto em serviços de turismo como em serviços regulares de longo curso. Produzido de 2007 a 2019, será inicialmente proposto em três versões – HD (High Deck, piso elevado), com 12,2 m ou 12,8 m, e HDH (High Deck [extra] High, piso ultra-elevado), com 3 eixos e 13,8 m, oferta ampliada em 2010 com a versão Pro, vocacionada para serviços regulares de longo curso. Em 2013, o Magelys assume a identidade IVECO. A versão mais longa é descontinuada e as restantes versões são propostas em três níveis de equipamento e acabamento – Lounge, Pro e Line. Os motores IVECO, montados longitudinalmente à retaguarda, são propostos em três opções – inicialmente, Cursor 8 de 330 hp (242 kW) e Cursor 10 de 331 hp (450 kW) e, a partir de 2013, Cursor 9 de 294 hp (400 kW). Em 2016, o IVECO Magelys Pro é distinguido com o título de "International Coach of the Year". Apesar das suas qualidades e do seu estilo audacioso e apelativo, o Irisbus/IVECO Magelys permanecerá uma presença pouco habitual nas estradas europeias, perdendo progressivamente terreno para concorrentes como o Mercedes-Benz Travego ou o Setra TopClass. Em 2020, o seu lugar na gama IVECO é assumido pelo versátil IVECO Evadys. ●

Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting. By the way, the problem reported to the operator VODAFONE in August 2023 is still unsolved in February March April October 2024 . Literally, unbelievable. As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive

Despite its historical value, the place it occupies in the hearts of successive generations of commuters and with a robustness and reliability that have not been surpassed by more recent constructions, it was not possible to keep the fe
