The TEMSA TS 35 is an integral, midsize motorcoach that was available in the United States through CH Bus Sales and available in Canada through Damera Bus Sales. The TS 35 was derived from TEMSA's Safari series of coaches and was adapted for the United States. The TS 35 is also available with an optional wheelchair lift.
The original design had simplified headlight clusters and featured a more pronounced bumper. At the 2016 United Motorcoach Association Expo, TEMSA launched the redesigned version of the TS 35. It was initially called the TS 35E, but reverted to the TS 35 name by 2020. Changes from the original TS 35 design include an enlarged driver's area, three-piece bumper, three-piece engine door, and restyled entryway. The front fascia has a new headlight configuration, the front window line dips downward in a more interesting manner, and the rear was restyled with a similar aesthetic to the TS 45.
