Alexander Dennis, a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., a leader in propulsion-agnostic bus and coach mobility solutions, on June 2 announced that it has handed over a brand new Enviro400 double-decker to English independent operator Paul S. Winson Coaches.
The new Alexander Dennis Enviro400 is the first of the type bought new by this family-owned company, which operates a vast amount of private coach charters along with their own coach holiday and day excursion program, and home-to-school services from its base in Loughborough, Leicestershire.
The high-capacity double-decker has 84 fixed seats with three-point belts, as well as an additional tip-up seat in the wheelchair bay. It fully meets PSV Accessibility Regulations (PSVAR) with low-floor ramp access for wheelchair users. This vehicle also boasts dark tinted windows, air-chill system, USB charging points to all seats and wood-effect flooring, which enhances the interior presentation.
“The decision to invest in a brand-new Enviro400 was easily made.” Director Anthony Winson, whose father Paul started the business in 1983, said: “We’re delighted to add this superbly built, high-specification double-decker vehicle into our fleet. In 2022, we had the opportunity to buy a pre-used Alexander Dennis Enviro400 which has proven to be a very capable vehicle which offers us further revenue opportunities on certain private charter work. With this experience in mind, the decision to invest in a brand-new Enviro400 was easily made.”
Regional Sales Manager for Alexander Dennis Simon Wood added: “We’re delighted to support Paul S. Winson Coaches with this new double-decker. The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 offers a unique combination of high capacity in a tried and trusted base vehicle that easily fits into any fleet, making it ideal for the mix of work operated by Paul S. Winson Coaches.”
