Finance provider Mistral Bus and Coach has announced delivery of two Yutong E10 electric buses to CT4N.
The vehicles, sourced by Pelican Bus and Coach, will be used by the Nottingham-based charitable trust on its SEGRO East Midlands Gateway shuttle service.
The service operates for employees across the 700-acre development every 10 minutes between 0500hrs and 2300hrs seven days per week.
“It was great to work alongside Yutong and CT4N to deliver these vehicles to the SEGRO East Midlands Gateway. We assisted with a tailored rental and funding package for both vehicles and the infrastructure, utilising all services from Mistral Group,” says Amy Duckworth, Group Customer Engagement Manager, Mistral Bus and Coach.
Nigel Eggleton, Managing Director of CT4N adds: “Our continued partnership with SEGRO grows from strength to strength.
“Not only have we taken delivery of two new Yutong Buses supplied via Pelican and Mistral, but we have also extended our working relationship with SEGRO for the next five years, which was a key factor in our commitment to these new buses for the Gateway Shuttle service.”
According to CT4N, the Yutong E10s offer rapid charging capabilities, regenerative braking technology, improved mileage range, wooden-effect flooring, double-glazed windows, extra leg room between the seats, mobile phone charge sockets and moquette seating which incorporates the SEGRO corporate branding.
Ian Downie, Head of Yutong UK, says: “In August last year we successfully bid for this vehicle supply contract. To have delivered such a customer centric vehicle in less than 7 months is a testament to the collaborative working between CT4N, Pelican, Mistral and all our UK suppliers.
The attention to detail included a new bespoke seat moquette that accentuates the warm, clean lines within the vehicle interior.”
