Irizar supplies i6 to Woods Travel with Dawsongroup
Irizar UK has supplied an Irizar Integral i6 to Woods Travel of Bognor Regis in partnership with Dawsongroup Bus & Coach.
The 12.9m coach is one of the first i6 models featuring revamped styling to bring the design in line with the rest of the Irizar range.
PSVAR provision has been specified on the 49-seat i6, helping protect residual values. Features include magazine holders, seatback tables, multi-position footrests and USB charging points, as well as a central stairwell-mounted toilet and a drinks machine. Onboard entertainment is provided via the Bosch Smart series audio-visual system, Actia DVD player and two monitors located in the front and centre of the saloon.
The latest addition to the fleet is powered by a DAF MX11 270kw, OBD-E engine, with an output of 367hp, driving through ZF’s Ecolife Coachline.
Kirsty Elsmere from Woods Travel said: “Since we took delivery of our new Irizar, it has been on back-to-back tours, and the feedback from both drivers and passengers has been excellent.”
Irizar UK has confirmed an additional four Irizar Integral i6 coaches will be added to the Dawson Bus & Coach portfolio, with two coaches expected to arrive later this year and an additional two arriving in late 2025.
“By creating a three-way partnership with the client, we can work closely with both parties and create an environment where vehicles can be customised to operational need” – Irizar UK’s Julie Hartley
Irizar UK’s Julie Hartley said of the partnership with Dawsons Group Bus & Coach: “I’m delighted to be moving forward in our relationship with Dawson Group Bus and Coach. By creating a three-way partnership with the client, we can work closely with both parties and create an environment where vehicles can be customised to operational need. This has worked well with Woods where the customer had specific requirements for the coach and the type of work it would be covering. With more coaches coming in the future we can work proactively with Dawsons to place them in a timely manner to be able to continue this approach.”
Fraser Innes, Dawson Group Bus & Coach, said: “It was a pleasure to work with the Teams at Woods Travel and at Irizar UK to produce a vehicle suited to the discerning needs of their customers and a rental solution that matched the needs of the business.”
