Thanks Charles, and yes, you are perfectly correct, Helena did suggest the term first, but I honestly did not see her posting until after I had posted. I will leave merely as a reference. Thanks again.

**High-floor** is an expression used to distinguish tram, light rail and other rail vehicles, along with buses and trolleybuses, built to formerly conventional design, from their counterparts of low-floor design.
http://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=Volvo B5RLEH&uid=157... First announced in August 2012, the Volvo B5RLEH, also known as Volvo B5RH and Volvo B215RH, is a hybrid electric bus chassis manufactured by Volvo since 2013, initially only available in the Asia-Pacific region.
There is also a B215RH model for Latin America, manufactured by Volvo in Brazil, available as both low and **high floor** chassis.
una unidad de Streetrover carrozada en piso alto... The bus comes in various versions, I suppose.
The entire paragraph reads
"Companía X" exhibe en el marco de la feria belga una unidad del "Streetrover" carrozada en piso alto con propulsión de Gas Natural Comprimido, pionera en Europa
I know deck, upper deck, lower deck is used in British English. Could it be something like " exhibited an upper deck version of the Streetrover..."? I have never heard floor used in the context of buses.
