Aries takes its safety solutions to Malaysia

Aylesbury-based operator Motts Travel has taken delivery of a Volvo B9R coach with VDL Jonckheere bodywork and liveried specifically for the company's Crusader Holidays contract.

The new vehicle joins Motts fleet of 55, which includes over 30 vehicles built on the Volvo chassis. The renewed investment reflects a strong faith and trust in the Volvo brand, products and services by the Buckinghamshire operator.

"We've had Volvo B9Rs before and the vehicle has excellent lightweight characteristics and strong driving qualities, more traditionally associated with larger coaches," explains managing director, Roger Mott. "Additionally we felt it offered the perfect balance of power, fuel economy and passenger comfort to ideally position it as a touring coach under the Crusader Holidays banner.

"Volvo is a manufacturer that we know and trust through past experience," continues Mott. "We know the level of quality and service that we get, but more importantly we know that the vehicles are reliable."

Motts' new B9R coach is specified with the vertical, rear mounted 6-cylinder D9B engine rated at 380bhp. It features the fully automated 12-speed I-Shift mechanical gearbox and anti-lock brakes, with anti-slip regulation.
