Coaches 671, 681, and 685 were the first Newells to utilize ZF
suspension while the prior suspension system was used in other units built at this time. Then all Newells starting with 722 were built with ZF suspension. To date, we have completed about 75 coaches with ZF suspension. It provides an excellent ride, very stable handling characteristics, and with the steering tag axle, a very short turning radius, about 37 feet on a 45-foot coach.
