Bus & Coach
Scottish coach operator Doig’s of Glasgow has taken delivery of two i6 Integral vehicles, replacing two older Irizars on its fleet.

The latest additions, from Irizar (UK), are a 12.2m, 53-seater, two-axle i6, and a 12.9m, two-axle, 57-seater i6.

Both have identical drivelines, with DAF MX-11 271 364bhp engines driving ZF’s AS Tronic 12-speed automated manual transmissions.

Safety features include CCTV and security hammers with wiring and alarms.

Inside, they have i6 Plus seating in full leather with seat-back tables, Actia video and Bosch audio systems, and central sunken toilets plus kitchen areas with drinks machines.

“Irizar can supply a very versatile 57-seat vehicle with a toilet on two axles,” says Iain Forsyth, director and transport manager at Doig’s.

“This specification provides us with a coach equally capable of undertaking extended tour work or day hires.”

The coaches are expected to be in operation for four years and will be maintained in-house.
