Customers show faith in Scania coaches

Bus & Coach
Two longstanding Scania customers have placed repeat orders, after previous vehicles proved their worth in operation.

Radley and Appleby Coach Holidays marked its 25th anniversary with a new Scania Irizar i6, supplied to full luxury touring specification. Owner Kevin Radley cites the dedicated European support network and two-year repair and maintenance programme as key reasons for his order.

Supplied by Scania Scunthorpe, the vehicle (pictured) is based upon a Scania K 410 EB4x2 chassis with Scania’s 410bhp Euro 6 engine and fully automated Opticruise gear-selection system. The Irizar i6 body has 49 seats with leather headrests, a Bosch Professional Line AV system, satellite navigation, reversing camera and centre washroom.

Elsewhere, Doncaster-based Wilfreda Beehive has acquired its first Euro 6 vehicles, adding two Scania K 410 EB6x2*4 Euro 6 chassis with the new 14.07-metre version of Irizar’s i6 body to its fleet.

Both feature 59 PB seats with wings, extra-tinted windows, inverter, crew bunk, USB sockets to each seat, alloy wheels, CCTV, kerb lighting system, Bosch Professional Line Radio/CD/PA system and Bluetooth telephone system.

The coaches are supplied with a two-year R&M contract and extended driveline warranties, and this latest order ensures the operator’s tri-axle touring fleet remains 100% Scania.
