Volvo B13R tri-axial coach joins the Bayliss fleet 08 September 2011

Bayliss Executive Travel has taken delivery of a Volvo B13R 13.8m tri-axle 9700 bodied coach with top of the range interior.

"It's the build quality of the vehicle that did it for us," explains company owner Alistair Bayliss. "We had a Volvo 9700 back in 2007, but our new B13R is a much better all-round vehicle, because a lot of the technology has been simplified."

The new coach features Volvo's fuel efficient Euro 5 compliant, 13-litre diesel engine, rated at 460bhp, coupled to the Volvo I-Shift gearbox.

It also has 57 leather trimmed passenger seats, with leather head rests and three-point safety belts, an internal toilet, two TV monitors, CD/DVD player, reversing camera and satellite navigation.

"Passenger safety and comfort is our number one priority," continues Bayliss. "The B13R is the ideal vehicle for our club class travellers. It has all the features we require and its currently running on our cruise terminal contracts in Dover, but we'll also be using it for private hire."
