BREAKING: Public transport operator Transit Systems has placed a purchase order in Australia for 44 Euro 6 city bus chassis – the biggest single order for Daimler Bus in Australia in more than a decade, it’s reported.
According to the German manufacturer, the chassis are produced in its plant located in Sámano, Spain, and they will subsequently be, “…fitted with bodies from either Volgren or Gemilang.”
All indications are that the buses are to be used in Sydney, for Transit System’s Region 6 contract area. Only recently did the operator start a trial of four Gemilang-bodied BYD electric buses in that region, as ABC magazine reported recently.
ABOUT THE PARTNERS
Transit System is an Australian-based international transport company, which operates in five of Australia’s biggest cities and has obtained bus orders within some of the world’s biggest transport networks in London and Singapore.
The large order also includes a comprehensive service package featuring, for example, on-site assistance by a service technician and driver training, Daimler explains.
