Construction features
Karosa B 732 is a variant of the Karosa 700 series. The B 732 is derived from the Karosa B 731 city bus, and also unified with city bus model B 741 and with intercity bus C 734. The body is semi-self-supporting with frame and engine with manual gearbox in the rear part. The engine drives only the rear axle. The 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 leatherette seats, plastic Vogelsitze or Fainsa seats. The driver's cab is separated from the rest of the vehicle by a glazed partition. In the middle, or in the rear part is room for a pram or wheelchair.
