The M 152.0 is the most common Czechoslovak diesel motor coach in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It was designed, manufactured and used in the former Czechoslovakia and now used in the Czech Republic (ČD Class 810) and Slovakia (ZSSK Class 812). It was produced from 1975 to 1982 by Vagonka Studénka.
