Mint Coaches, based in Kilburn, London, has taken delivery of its first i6 integral, supplied by Irizar UK (01909 500514).
The 12.9m, 57-seat coach becomes the largest member of Mint’s 16-vehicle fleet and it has i6 Plus seats with lateral slide at aisle positions, mood lighting, a vacuum cleaner, USB charging sockets beneath each seat pair, wi-fi and a two-monitor DVD system.
Mint Coaches has been updating its fleet since 2007 with the London ULEZ in mind. “It’s taken a while to do that but we’re almost there now,” says Director Marco Condi.
“The i6 integral is brilliant. It’s performing really well and our clients love it.”
DAF’s MX-11 engine is coupled to the six-speed ZF EcoLife automatic gearbox.
