Dumfries and Galloway Council has taken delivery of two Iveco Daily 72C17s with coachbuilt Maxima bodywork supplied by Mellor Coachcraft (01706 860610).
Each has 30 seats and a luggage pen with added handrails and an open-topped luggage box to provide maximum functionality when transporting schoolchildren.
Also fitted to both is a Sentinel Cycle Hotspot. It includes sensors, a nearside camera and an audible warning to cyclists.
Says Transportation Manager Douglas Kirkpatrick: “These perfectly-sized buses are idea for our rural area and will ensure the safe and reliable transport of school pupils.”
