A Celebration Of The Industry from Pelican Bus & Coach

By on

Pelican Bus and Coach will exhibit its current Yutong coaches and buses at the forthcoming Euro Bus Expo, with Managing Director Richard Crump of the Castleford dealership describing the event as "a celebration" of the industry.

Pelican Bus & Coach

A battery-electric TCe12 coach for Coatham Coaches, a mid-sized, rear-engined TC9 in PSVAR ready format for Mainline Coaches of South Wales, a GT12 tourer for a customer to be confirmed, and an E12 battery-electric bus will be on display within the indoor space.

Watch our overview of the Yutong GT12 at Euro Bus Expo 2018.

The latter vehicle will be formally handed over to Carmarthenshire County Council during Euro Bus Expo, where it will be used on the TrawsCymru network in Wales.

It is one of eight such buses, each are equipped with dual CCS2 DC charging sockets for quick battery replenishment, Lazzerini coach-style seats, and the Journeo Edge intelligent gateway for cloud-connected services. Ian Downie, Head of Yutong Sales, described the batch as "very high specification vehicles", completed by Pelican Bus and Coach in the UK.

Pelican will have a second Yutong TCe12 battery-electric coach available for demonstration to operators in the interactive Zero Emission Zone outside the halls, in addition to the vehicles on static display in the main show hall.

Euro Bus Expo will be held between the 1st and 3rd November 2022 at the NEC Birmingham. To register for a free trade pass to attend, visit eurobusxpo.com.
