M-Class

York's largest bus, for payloads over 1,000 kg with 8 kW or more of peak power, aimed at imaging and communications missions.

Why it matters

York says M-Class offers the same capability as competitors' large buses at half the cost, by reusing parts from its smaller buses.

How the technology works

M-Class shares about 75% of its technology with S-Class and LX-Class, which lets York build it on the same production base.
