Volvo B9R is the perfect fit for Reynolds Diplomat 15 December 2011

Watford-based Reynolds Diplomat Coaches has taken delivery of five new Volvo B9R coaches with Jonckheere bodywork.

All its coaches have been fitted with 9.4 litre Euro 5 engines, rated at 380hp and matched to the popular I-Shift gearbox.

All have 53 reclining and club class executive seats, while the interior of the B9Rs was also specified to a high standard, with serveries, toilets and television monitors.

"We selected the Volvo B9R, because it's the ideal size for our current tour operations," explains Reynolds Diplomat owner Richard Reynolds.

"Having reviewed other chassis types, they were all either far too large or too small for our requirements. The Volvo B9R was not only the right size, but also cost effective," he adds.

With changing emissions regulations for the LEZ effective from January next year and with further legislation changes due in 2015, coach operators must be prepared, warns Reynolds.

"It was obviously a big consideration for us when we purchased these new coaches. Our new Volvo B9Rs meet Euro 5 standards and will help to positively position our business for the legislative changes going forward."
