Bluebird Coaches, of Weymouth, has added another new Volvo B11R coach to its 18-strong vehicle fleet, with managing director Martyn Hoare praising the Volvo’s quality, safety features and fuel efficiency.
Citing experienced with two B11R coaches acquired back in 2014, he says he had “no hesitation” with this repeat purchase.
The 53 seater, Jonckheere bodied, coach was specified with added Volvo Driver Support System (DSS) as standard and includes AEBS (forward collision warning and advanced emergency braking systems), LKS (lane keeping support) and ACC (adaptive cruise control) integrated with Volvo’s I-Shift gearbox.
“Customers want a high standard from their operator, so it was important to purchase a vehicle that would continue to meet their expectations,” states Hoare.
“We’ve also found Volvo coaches to be extremely reliable in their operation, which was another key consideration for us when we were looking to expand our fleet.”
