Prevost H3-45

The Prevost Car H3-45 is a 45 foot motorcoach. It is noticeably longer than a H3-40 or H3-41, and has 5 luggage bay sized panels between the wheels whereas the shorter models only have 4.

Since the introduction of the H-Series coach, it has been redesigned gradually> Flush-mounted passemger windows were introduced in 1997. The front and rear cap were updated with new lights in and a two-piece windshield in 2002. In January 2009, Prevost introduced a revised front end for the H-Series coaches, incorporating larger, more aggressive headlights with a black center panel and a new bumper with room for 4 lights. A revised rear was introduced in late 2010 for EPA2010-compliant coaches.
