Woottens latest new coaches are eight Plaxton bodied Volvo coaches, which took to the road in April. The vehicles were collected by Woottens own staff from Plaxton's Scarborough factory and have been extremely well received by customers old and new.

These coaches were all built to Woottens own detailed specification. The original order called for seven Volvo B12B / Plaxton Panthers but was later increased to include a Volvo B7R / Plaxton Profile with 57 seats and air conditioning.

Both the Panthers and Profile have been built to incorporate a number of DDA requirements with the Panthers featuring a new wide entrance door recently introduced by Plaxton. Also included in the specification are 49/53 reclining seats with integral headrests, courier seat, inertia reel seat belts, arm rests, foot rests, WC / washroom, climate controlled air conditioning, double glazed panoramic windows, cruise control, ABS brakes, reversing cameras, stereo radio / PA / CD player, refrigerator, large luggage capacity, DVD / monitor, hot drinks dispenser and carpets.

The Volvo B12Bs are powered by 420bhp engines with Volvo 12-speed I-Shift transmission - a first for Woottens who previously standardised on the ZF Ecomat automatic gearbox for all new vehicles.
