The Drögmüller E440 Meteor is the only double-deck model of the manufacturer. They were focused on operators in Europe, especially those from Scandinavia. However, some Japanese deluxe coach operators like Hato Bus and Hinomaru Limousine imported quite a few buses of this type for their sight-seeing use. In order to meet the height restriction in Japan, these buses were built at an overall height of 3.8m and emergency exit doors were fitted at the rear. In recent years, some of the withdrawn buses were shipped to Bangladesh and they are believed to be the most luxurious double deckers there.
