and the engine with manual gearbox behind the rear axle. Only the rear axle is powered. The front axle is independent, while the rear axle is solid. All axles are mounted on air suspension. On the right side are two doors. The front doors are hinged, while the rear doors (behind the rear axle) are single and usually serve only as an emergency exit. Comfortable adjustable leather seats are provided for passengers, distributed in 2 + 2 across a central aisle. The seats are raised from the aisle height to provide a luggage compartment below, between the axles. The luggage compartment has a volume of 5 m³. Above the seats are fitted mesh shelves for passenger hand luggage (unlike type LC 736, where the shelves are solid, and equipped with air vents above each seat). Near the front door is often placed a folding seat for a tour guide. The driver's cab is not separated from the rest of the vehicle.

Production and operation

Serial production started in 1983, and continued until 1991. Currently, the number of Karosa LC 735 buses is decreasing, due to high age of buses.
