TEMSA Large Coaches
TEMSA HD12
The HD12 is the smaller of TEMSA's two full-sized British-market coaches, combining a 12.3-metre body with comfortable accommodation for up to 53 passengers. Its 10.8-litre DAF diesel engine and ZF automatic gearbox provide the mechanical foundations, while independent front suspension and a spacious interior help make longer journeys more comfortable. A substantial nine-cubic-metre luggage compartment makes it suitable for holidays, airport transfers and private hire, alongside school and contract transport. Passenger equipment includes air conditioning, adjustable seating and USB charging, while PSVAR-compliant configurations with wheelchair access are available. The HD12 offers a useful balance between seating capacity, luggage space and manageable dimensions, with new examples continuing to enter British fleets.

TEMSA HD13
The HD13 is TEMSA's largest coach currently offered in Britain, extending the HD12 formula with a longer body and seating for up to 57 passengers. Its 13.1-metre length provides additional interior space and an 11-cubic-metre luggage compartment, making it especially suitable for holidays, long-distance private hire and larger passenger groups. The same 408hp DAF diesel engine and six-speed ZF automatic transmission provide strong performance, while independent front suspension, modern safety systems and extensive passenger equipment contribute to comfortable touring. PSVAR-compliant versions include wheelchair access, allowing the HD13 to serve a wider variety of contracts. It remains an established choice among British operators seeking a high-capacity coach without moving to a three-axle or double-deck vehicle.

Important Information
Prices, specifications, dimensions, seating capacities, weights, power outputs and equipment are based primarily on information published by vehicle manufacturers, their official UK representatives and established specialist suppliers. Specifications can vary by body length, drivetrain, interior layout, model year and individual vehicle.
Prices shown are UK prices where available and are intended as a guide. Where an official UK list price is unavailable, pricing is shown as POA. Prices can vary substantially according to fleet order size, optional equipment, accessibility requirements and operator-specific configurations.
Passenger seating capacities vary according to the interior layout and accessibility equipment. Wheelchair accommodation, onboard facilities and alternative seating arrangements may reduce the number of available passenger seats. PSVAR-ready preparation should not be confused with a vehicle already fully equipped and approved for PSVAR-compliant operation.
Licence categories shown are a general guide only. Individual driving entitlement can vary according to passenger-seat count, vehicle weight, vehicle length, licence issue date, grandfather rights, Section 19 operation and other exemptions. Passenger-seat counts used for licence purposes exclude the driver. Always check the vehicle's plated specification and your own driving-licence entitlement before driving.
Specifications are checked against the latest information reasonably available to The New Yardstick at the time of publication or update. Manufacturers and distributors may alter specifications, pricing or model availability without notice.
