The order placed by Skills Motor Coaches is the operator’s first new Alexander Dennis order since 2017. The six Enviro400 double deck buses will be introduced to support new premium contracts, further enhancing their reputation for delivering top-tier services in school transport, private hire, and corporate travel.
Skills Motor Coaches continues to be a family-run business, operating across the East Midlands and works hard to keep its fleet first-class and modern.
Each of the Enviro400 buses provides 85 seats to give Skills extra capacity for high passenger numbers on its services. The vehicles will be a reliable addition to the operator’s fleet as well as a versatile vehicle that will work across the business.
Pete Hallam, Managing Director at Skills Motor Coaches, commented: “Building on the success of our 2017 purchase of Alexander Dennis vehicles, which have consistently delivered outstanding reliability and low maintenance costs, we are delighted to expand our fleet with six new Enviro400 double deck buses. These vehicles have been highly regarded by both our passengers and team for their comfort, performance and operational efficiency. This latest investment reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional standards across our premium contracts. I would like to thank Simon and the Alexander Dennis team for their exceptional support throughout this process and we look forward to introducing these new buses to our fleet and customers.”
Simon Wood, Regional Sales Manager for Alexander Dennis, added: “I’m really pleased to have been able to assist Pete and the rest of the Skills team with ordering six of our Enviro400 double deck buses. We look forward to supporting these buses throughout their operational lives with our comprehensive AD24 aftermarket support.”
