Ilesbus UK debuts rear-view cameras on I-City Max

Ilesbus I City Max with rear view cameras

Ilesbus UK has supplied its first small PSV with rear-view cameras. The I-City Max low-floor midibus is mounted on an Iveco Daily chassis and it has been delivered to Wrexham operator Pat’s Coaches.

The camera system is from Parksafe Automotive. Ilesbus UK Director Creighton Jones says that in addition to the I-City Max, the units can be specified on the high-floor, Daily-based Glance midicoach and also the larger Calista, which seats up to 36. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based products offered by Ilesbus do not currently fall in scope of the cameras.

Mr Jones adds that customer demand led to introduction of the system, which has been homologated at the Ilesbus plant in Turkey. It is fitted there and attracts a price premium of around £1,000, but that is set against reduced drag and a removal of scope for damage to mirror arms.

The rear view cameras are mounted in small ‘ears’ above exterior head height on the I-City Max, which follows larger coaches with the equipment

The cameras sit in small modules above external head height and the driver’s rear view is maintained at times of poor weather and low light, Mr Jones continues.

“Presently we will only build production camera-equipped vehicles to customer order, but we are looking at whether to make it a standard fitment [on some models] based on customer feedback,” he says.

The next camera-equipped Ilesbus vehicle to arrive in the UK will be a battery-electric example of the I-City Max.

Mr Jones adds that the I-City Max is proving to be one of the most popular products for Ilesbus UK following its introduction in 2022. Supply of base chassis from Iveco is good, and that has been reflected in the opening of a dedicated product line for all Daily-based products at the Bursa factory, he continues.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
