Scania coaches deliver all-round performance for coach operator16 December 2014

Hodge's Coaches (Sandhurst) has taken delivery of six new Scania OmniExpress coaches this year and has placed an order for another vehicle for 2015.

The Berkshire-based operator's latest order is for a fully equipped executive coach to accommodate 51 passengers on UK and European touring work.

Based on Scania K 360 EB 4x2 chassis with ZF automatic gearboxes, the vehicles are 12.4m-long touring coaches with washroom, servery, refrigerator, Bosch audio/video with two monitors, PA system and powered parallel lifting locker doors. The 51 passenger seats have rear seat tables and footrests.

"This is a major investment and we look at the whole product – ie, build quality, operating costs, reliability and resale value – and the Scania OmniExpress ticked all the boxes," says Martin Hodge, company spokesman.
