Neoplan bus identification number:

Location of Neoplan bus

The stamped, 17-character VIN is located on the crossmember at the front, behind the front skirt.
The skirt must be unclipped in order to see the number. To do so, operate the release lever, which on older vehicles, depending on the model, may be either low down on the driver’s side or low down in the entry on the front right. This releases the skirt, which may then be opened.
