Vehicle Description

Diamond Coach VIP 2000

The VIP 2000 provides an ideal solution as an assisted living, medical transport, or church bus. This model is also popular with hotels and parking authorities. Using the optional wheel chair lift, passengers are safely loaded.

The VIP 2000 can accommodate up to 17 passengers and can be equipped with many of the luxury options of larger “coach” busses.

What makes Diamond uniquely different? We’re rust free.

In cities with high amounts of rain, snow, sea salt, or calcium chloride, rust will commonly develop in the stepwell, wheel wells, and along door frames of metal buses. Diamond buses do not rust because of its true composite construction.

DESIGNED TO MEET OR EXCEED APPLICABLE FMVSS STANDARDS and FORD QVM
