Coach operator Arena Travel has taken delivery of a Euro 6 Volvo B11R, with Sunsundegui SC7 bodywork, citing Volvo’s all-round package as the deciding factor.
Arena's last vehicle, a Volvo B9R, performed well in terms of reliability and fuel consumption: "That experience played a key role in our decision to specify the Volvo B11R on this occasion," says David Burrows, Arena's managing director.
"But, in fact, it's the complete Volvo package that impresses us," he adds, noting in particular the vehicle's early fuel performance, and Volvo's back-up and Volvo Action Service offer.
Arena's latest addition is 14m long, with D11K 460bhp Euro 6 engine, connected to the 12-speed I-Shift gearbox. The coach features 59/61 passenger seats, demountable toilet and server.
