The vehicles, all 5.0-tonne GVW models, include 10 516 CDI panel vans, which will be transformed into coaches by Irish converter EVM. Most of the new vehicles, though, are Sprinter 513 CDI chassis cabs, which will be fitted with wheelchair-accessible bodies by Treka Bus, of Brighouse, West Yorkshire.
Managing Director Paul Sainthouse said: “We’ve been running Mercedes-Benz Sprinters for some time now, but they’ve played an increasingly important role over recent years as our business focus has shifted and we’ve expanded the fleet to include more van-based vehicles and minbuses.
“The Sprinter is reliable, comfortable and highly cost-effective to operate, as well as offering the prestige of the three-pointed star. All of which explains why it’s so popular with our customers and why we’re very happy to be confirming this latest round of orders today.”
