First Bus rolls out single diagnostic system for workshops17 October 2018

First Bus, one of the UK’s largest bus operators, has signed a deal with Eclipse for a single diagnostic platform for its workshops.

The operator trialled several options before deciding that one generic diagnostic platform would not only reduce costs, but would improve efficiencies and vehicle availability across its fleet. It chose the Jaltest Eclipse Testpad Extreme Diagnostic system.

“We have been working with Eclipse over the last year to develop a system that will benefit our dedicated team of engineers,” says Ian Warr, engineering director at First Bus.

“The trials we conducted demonstrated the capability of the system, as well as the additional support provided. We are confident that through training, familiarity and the use of only one diagnostic system, First Bus engineers will increasingly maximise the use of Jaltest and progressively reduce the spend on third party labour for assistance with diagnostics, and increase the fleet availability.”
