Arriva places Large Order with ADL
18 March 2013
www.chinabuses.org: Arriva has placed an order for more than 80 VDL right-hand drive SB-200 chassis fordelivery in 2013 through VDL’s UK dealership, Arriva Bus and Coach. This order follows an order for a similar number of VDL DB-300 double-deck chassis which are currently in build for Arriva. The single deck SB-200 chassis is a mature chassis concept, which has been delivering real benefit to Arriva over the years through a combination of low fuel consumption, proven reliability and reduced whole life costs.
The SB-200 for Arriva is equipped with a Euro 5 Cummins ISBe 6-cylinder diesel engine in combination with a Voith gearbox. The low-floor SB-200 chassis provides space for wheelchairs and buggies as well as ample seating capacity. The SB-200 driveline is similar to the driveline of the VDL Citea LLE European body, which hasachieved major success in several countries, including the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Finland.
The DB-300 chassis is the chassis platform for a 10 m double deck city bus. Like the SB-200, this chassis delivers proven low fuel consumption and reliability and benefits from an excellent rear end design with a split cooling system.
