Wattsway Travel of London has introduced a new Yutong GT12 and an ex-demonstrator U11DD battery-electric double-deck bus to its fleet, supplied by Pelican Bus and Coach. They join a number of existing vehicles from the Yutong marque with Wattsway, including battery-electric coaches.
The 53-seat GT12 has a DAF MX-11 engine rated at 450bhp driving through a ZF EcoLife gearbox. Internal fittings include USB-A and USB-C charging points, 240-volt sockets, mood lighting, and wood-effect flooring.
Within the U11DD is 385kWh of battery capacity. It will utilise the operator’s existing on-site charging provision and comes with 72 seats finished in leather, leading it to be described as a high specification vehicle by the dealership.
Alloy wheels, tinted windows, wood-effect flooring and a 360-degree bird’s eye camera system and included and USB charging points and saloon air-conditioning are also part of the U11DD package.
