A USER'S STORY - A NEW TOUR BUS IN SIX MONTHS
As Rhino becomes widely used, some interesting stories emerge.
Paolo Velcich from Korum Design was kind enough to share his Rhino
experience on the Europa project. Europa, a new line of mid-sized tour buses,
was developed from concept design to the finished product in only six months.
