Beestons celebrates 40 years with Volvo
40 years ago, Suffolk based Beestons first chose Volvo for a fleet addition and that choice has continued with a total of nine new Volvos being added to the fleet in 2025/6.
Recently delivered are four B8L based double-deckers, a mix of two- and three-axle vehicles that offer up to 98 seats in their MCV eVoSeti bodywork. They join a recently delivered single-deck B8RLE MCV eVoRa bus, with a pair of 57-seat B8R MCV eVoTor coaches scheduled for delivery before the end of the year. They will be followed by two similar vehicles in early 2026.
Tom Munson, Operations Director at Beestons, says: “The Volvo product is perfectly suited to the needs of our business and has a track record for being a brand you can count on. With this level of confidence in the product, it simplifies decision making when looking to add something new to our fleet.”
The four new Volvo B8L MCV eVoSetis will be used primarily on school contracts, 190 days per year, covering both standard school services and school trips. Each has been built to a bespoke Beestons’ specification, featuring leather trimmed seats, a PA system, and air conditioning.
