Irizar UK Ltd has recently supplied a new coach to Woods Travel of Bognor Regis in partnership with Dawson Group Bus & Coach, a new look Irizar Integral i6.
The 12.9m coach is one of the first i6 models featuring revamped styling to bring the design in line with the rest of the Irizar range.
PSVAR provision has been specified on the i6, ensuring versatility on the second life of the vehicle therefore protecting residual values.
Passenger conveniences include magazine holders and seatback tables. Multi-position footrests have been included for comfort and USB charging points have been fitted to each pair of seats. Other passenger amenities include a toilet located in the central stairwell and a drinks machine.
3-point seat belts have also been specified for the safety of the 49 passengers onboard.
Onboard entertainment is provided via the Bosch Smart series audio-visual system, Actia DVD player, and two monitors located in the front and centre of the saloon.
The latest addition to the fleet is powered by a DAF MX11 270kw, OBD-E euro 6 engine, with an output of 367hp, driving through ZF’s Ecolife Coachline enhancing the driveline.
Commenting on the new coach, Kirtsy Elsmere says “Since we took delivery of our new Irizar, it has been on back to back tours, and the feedback from both drivers and passengers has been excellent.”
Dawson Group Bus & Coach is a leading provider of rental, hire, and lease coaches in the UK with over 2,000 vehicles in its fleet. Its diverse client base covers local authorities and major coach operators alike.
Irizar UK is pleased to confirm that an additional four Irizar Integral i6 coaches will be added to the Dawson Bus & Coach portfolio, with two coaches expected to arrive later this year and an additional two arriving in late 2025.
“I’m delighted to be moving forward in our relationship with Dawson Group Bus and Coach. By creating a three-way partnership with the client, we can work closely with both parties and create an environment where vehicles can be customised to operational need. This has worked well with Woods where the customer had specific requirements for the coach and the type of work it would be covering. With more coaches coming in the future we can work proactively with Dawsons to place them in a timely manor to be able to continue this approach.” Julie Hartley says of the partnership with Dawsons Group Bus & Coach.
“It was a pleasure to work with the Teams at Woods Travel and Irizar UK to produce a vehicle suited to the discerning needs of their Customers and a rental solution that matched the needs of the business.” Fraser Innes, Dawson Group Bus & Coach Ltd.
