The present invention provides for an air conditioning unit for mounting within or on the roof of a vehicle which has a passenger compartment and air delivery ducts, the unit being adapted for conditioning of air with the passenger compartment of the bus. The unit comprises a casing having a longitudinal axis extending between ends and adapted to be attached to the roof of the vehicle with the longitudinal axis oriented front to back of the vehicle. A condenser section (24) is located centrally of the casing and adjacent the top thereof, the condenser section (24) including air delivery device (48) and at least one condenser coil (40) located adjacent the air delivery device (48). At least one evaporator section (22) is located between the condenser section (24) and a side of the casing and adjacent the bottom of the casing, the evaporator section (22) including an evaporator section air delivery device (30) and an evaporator coil (26), the air delivery device (30) having an air inlet for drawing in air from the passenger compartment and an outlet for discharging the air through the evaporator coil and then returning the conditioned air to the passenger compartment.
