Hollinshead goes for fuel economy with Volvo coach 06 August 2013

Hollinshead Coaches has recently taken delivery of a new B11R with Jonckheere bodywork, and cited the vehicle's fuel economy as a deciding factor.

"We've had many years operating Volvos and we like and trust them," comments Hollinshead Coaches' Stephen Haydon.

"We had two fundamental requirements with our new coach. It had to be as economic on fuel as possible and we also specifically wanted a vehicle with 53 seats, plus a centre demountable toilet," he adds.

The delivery brings the proportion of vehicles built on the Volvo chassis at this North Staffordshire operator to 90%.

Its latest coach was specified with Volvo's D11C 11-litre diesel engine, rated at 450bhpabd mated to the I-Shift automated gearbox.
