Sussex selects Scania I-Skool

Sussex Coaches of Horsham has taken delivery of a new high-capacity Scania Irizar I-Skool coach. Based on a Scania K 360 IB6x2*4 chassis equipped with Scania’s 360hp engine and Scania’s fully automated Opticruise gear-selection system, the 13.6m overall length vehicle is equipped with 80 seats in a 3+2 configuration. Interior fitments include climate control, Bosch Professional audio/video equipment and a reversing camera.

Sussex Coaches will benefit from the inclusive repair and maintenance programme offered to all Scania retail customers purchasing new coaches. Also provided is a ten-year subscription to Scania Onboard, Scania’s telematics system which records driver and vehicle performance, with reports sent direct to the customer by email.

Richard Lawrie, Scania Bus & Coach Regional Account Manager, said: “It’s been a pleasure to have supplied Sam Ayling of Sussex Coaches’ first new vehicle for a number of years. The I-Skool is really going to help meet the needs of the company’s current customers. It also looks fantastic in the Sussex Coaches livery – a real head turner.”
