Midlands based Hills of Wolverhampton has expanded its 20-plus strong coach fleet with the addition of a new B8R SB3 – its ninth from Volvo over the last five years and the first of its type in the UK.
The operator’s new addition is a 72 seater with Sunsundegui bodywork, and Hills co-owner Darran Hill says excellent fuel consumption and operational performance are key reasons for coming back to Volvos.
“We required a vehicle with large seating capacity to meet the needs of our customers so we decided the B8R was the right coach for us,” explains Hill.
“In addition, we have a very good working relationship with our local Volvo Truck and Bus dealership, Hartshorne in Walsall,” he continues.
“Good aftersales service and back-up are of vital importance to our business, and this was another reason for us turning to Volvo Bus again this time.”
