Dews Coaches of Somersham has taken delivery of a new 13-metre B13R Volvo 53-seater with 9700 bodywork, the company’s first new Volvo coach in 14 years.
Says Simon Dew: “Volvo provided a B13R demonstrator earlier this year, it performed well and we really liked it. Off the back of that we decided to open discussions about purchasing a new coach”.
The tri-axle coach has Volvo’s 13-litre 460bhp Euro 5 engine, and I-Shift 12-speed automated gearbox. Dews has put the coach on its international tour programme.
