About the Caetano City Gold Platform

Salvador Caetano is a Portuguese coachbuilder founded in 1946 in Vila Nova de Gaia, near Porto in northern Portugal. The City Gold is Caetano's flagship urban bus body, designed for low-floor city operation and typically integrated with MAN, Volvo or Mercedes-Benz chassis depending on the operator's procurement preference. This particular mod is a fictitious variant exploring a hypothetical diesel-powered configuration with a MAN D28 engine, distinct from the CNG-powered canonical City Gold versions deployed across Porto and Lisbon transit operators in real-world service. The MAN D28 was a Euro 3 era inline-six diesel used across multiple MAN urban bus platforms in the late 1990s and 2000s.
