Caledonian takes 22-plate Tourismos

Promptly for 22 registration plates on 1 March, Travel Caledonian has taken delivery of five new Mercedes-Benz Tourismos from EvoBus (UK). The 13.1m vehicles will support the return of Caledonian Leisure’s coach touring programme into Europe from 8 March. They offer comfortable travel in 53 reclining seats and provide customers with reassurance that the air delivered by the coaches’ air conditioning units has passed through EvoBus’ ActivFilter anti-viral protection process that is now standard across the Tourismo range.
