Mellor Coachcraft continued its charge into Europe at Busworld, displaying the zero-emission Orion E and low-floor Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based Strata LF in left-hand drive form alongside a right-hand drive Tucana.
Three European distribution partners have been appointed and the Orion E leads Mellor’s export aspirations, says MD John Randerson.
“Reaching Busworld with our new vehicle range and distributors in place is testament to the hard work put in by my team.
“We look forward to the next chapter as we aim to become Europe’s leading specialist small bus manufacturer.”
The Orion E displayed is the second one built. Unlike the UK demonstrator, it has no rear doors and instead comes with a nearside emergency exit and four seats on the back row.
