The Setra S 315 GT-HD is a ComfortClass 300 touring coach from the German bus manufacturer Setra . The bus went into production in 1996 and was replaced by the S 415 GT-HD in 2003. The two longer, three-axle variants S 317 GT-HD and S 319 GT-HD were produced alongside him. After the end of production of the bus, the latter was completely taken out of the range and no longer had a successor. To compensate, the S 416 GT-HD rolled off the production line as the golden mean.
