I am going with the length ratio as the primary reason for this design possibly being aerodynamic.

I'm pretty sure it's designed to operate under aircraft wings and be resistant to blow-over from accidental jet blasts.

TAM Durabus With Profit, Still Waiting for Govt Incentive Confirmed Two Years Ago

Quote:
Tam Durabus, a Chinese-Slovenian joint venture that bought the bankruptcy estate of the once famous bus manufacturer in Maribor, announced Thursday it planned to turn a profit this year on the back of strong sales................

The company plans to become the market leader in the airport bus segment and capture 40% of the market in a year and a half, according to Postl................

The company officially unveiled today a new product, the Vivair airport bus, at a presentation for 50 partners from Europe, Asia and Africa.

Postl said additional new products would be launched next year provided the government finally approves a EUR 3.4m incentive for the production of electric buses.
