Additional Volvo B9R coach for Plastows

Bus & Coach
Plastows Coaches has added to its growing fleet by investing in a third new Volvo B9R Jonckheere coach.
The move comes hard on the heels of Plastows purchase of two other B9R coaches, as the Oxford-based company continues to upgrade its all-Volvo fleet. The latest vehicle was specified with a rear-mounted D9B 9.4-litre diesel engine, capable of 380bhp and mated to a 12-speed I-Shift gearbox. "The two new B9Rs we recently purchased have proven to be very successful on our private hire work," comments Plastows partner Barbara Plastow. "We decided that we had a requirement for a third vehicle and it seemed logical that we should specify another Volvo B9R." And she adds: "As I have outlined previously, the understanding and trust we have with Volvo Bus regional coach sales manager Jo Standbridge really is an important factor when it comes to us reinvesting in our fleet... Volvo knows the standards we expect here at Plastows and they keep delivering."
