Scania Fencer f1 order placed by Q-Park
SHARE

Q-Park has become the first operator to place an order for the Fencer f1 with Scania (Great Britain). It will take four 10.9m examples that are scheduled for delivery in May 2022 and which will be used on a car park shuttle service at Heathrow Airport.

The buses will be mounted on Scania’s new K BL chassis and equipped with the DC07 engine at Euro VI Step E. That unit will develop 280bhp and be coupled to ZF’s EcoLife 2 automatic gearbox. Air-conditioning has been specified, along with 31 seats including four tip-ups, and luggage racking.

Says Q-Park Heathrow Operations Manager Steve Rowlerson: “As a growing operation, we need to replace our existing 8.9m buses with longer and larger vehicles. The Scania Fencer f1 not only represents a significant step up in size, but also offers an extremely large amount of luggage space, which is especially important for us.

“While these will be the first Scania buses to enter service with us, the brand is well known for its proven reliability and the quality of its backup and support services, so we had no hesitation in opting for Scania.

“We also feel that Scania’s build quality and the modern look and appeal of the Fencer f1 fits perfectly with the upmarket, high-end standards that Q-Park looks to project as a premium service provider.”

Scania (Great Britain) Sales Director – Bus and Coach Martin West adds that the Fencer f1 has generated “unprecedented attention” since its launch earlier in 2021.

Having thanked Q-Park for its business, Mr West adds: “We now look forward to fulfilling this important order and working with Q-Park to ensure that travellers passing through Heathrow enjoy the best possible transfer experience aboard these new-generation, state-of-the-art vehicles.”

The first global order for the Fencer f1 was placed by Baltic operator GoBus. Its first four will be delivered in November 2021 with 20 more to follow.

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."
