Construction features
Karosa B 932 is model of Karosa 900 series. B 932 is derived from Karosa B 732 city bus, and also unified with city bus models such as B 941 and B 931. Body is semi-self-supporting with frame and engine with manual gearbox in the rear part. Only rear axle is propulsed. Front axle is independent, rear axle is solid. All axles are mounted on air suspension. On the right side are three doors (first are narrower than middle doors). Inside are used plastic Vogelsitze or Fainsa seats. Drivers cab is separated from the rest of the vehicle with glazed partition. In the middle part is room for a pram or wheelchair.
Production and operation
In 1996 started serial production, which continued until 2002. Since 1999 were buses produced only in modernised version B 932 E, which has new solid front axle Škoda-LIAZ, floor lowered in front part by 10 centimeters, ABS and ASR.
Currently, number of Karosa B932 buses is decreasing, due to supply of new low-floor buses, for example by SOR NB 12 made in Czech Republic.
