The German company Neoplan was founded in 1935 and has always been specialised in bus and coach manufacturing. The Hamburg range, to which this model belongs, was introduced in Geneva in 1961 and was produced until 1974. This 1964 NH 9L (9 m/354 in.-long, 9 rows without the driver) was slightly longer than the NH8 (8.16 m/321 in.-long).
