Volvo Buses
UNITED KINGDOM & IRELAND
Transport and Travel Co-ordinator for the University of Wolverhampton, Chris Robinson, said: “We were looking for buses that would offer students a more comfortable and reliable journey to and from university. Our campuses are spread out across Telford, Wolverhampton and Walsall, so it is important for us to be able to offer students a frequent and dependable service.
“The B5TLs that we have leased are easily accessible for wheelchair users and are fitted with USB ports, free Wi-Fi and CCTV, allowing every student to make the most of their travel time between campuses. Furthermore, the University of Wolverhampton prioritises sustainability and we recognise that the Volvo chassis and its Euro 6 engine will deliver lower emissions and offer a more fuel-efficient journey.
