Cambridgeshire based Saffords Coaches has taken delivery of a new Volvo B11R Euro 6 coach to complement its fleet.

The coach will be used for private hire and has Jonckheere bodywork, including all the latest interior features to ensure the high level of comfort expected by today’s seasoned traveller.

Director of family owned and operated Saffords Coaches, Tracey Gillett, explained: “We needed a new vehicle to add to our fleet, and the Volvo B11R Euro 6 was particularly attractive due to the low emissions for our central London work, as well as reports of excellent fuel efficiency.

“Of our fleet of 15 vehicles, seven are Volvo. Our previous experience based on our used Volvo vehicles, promise quality, great operational costs and reliability, which meant we had no hesitation in choosing a Volvo once again, this time opting for a brand new coach.

“Passenger well-being and safety were also important in our decision making process and the Volvo B11R Jonckheere coach provides ample leg room and a range of features, offering our customers the highest quality and comfort they now expect.

“Working with our Volvo Retail Bus & Coach Sales Manager, Jo Standbridge, meant the whole process was smooth and efficient from order through to delivery. In addition, we also know that we will get the aftersales service we require from our trusted local Volvo dealership, Volvo Truck & Bus in Ely.”

Jo Standbridge added: “We are delighted Saffords Coaches have chosen Volvo for their first ever new coach purchase, to add to their existing Volvo fleet and look forward to a continued relationship between our companies.”

Saffords Coaches has been operating for more than 80 years, providing luxury coach hire to passengers from Britain and abroad.
