Volvo Bus UK marked a significant milestone in 2022, celebrating fifty years of trading in the UK and Ireland. The journey began with the arrival of the first right-hand drive B58 chassis at the end of 1971, setting the stage for a remarkable fifty-year journey. In 1973, the double deck front engine Ailsa joined the fleet, showcasing Volvo's commitment to innovation and progress. Over the years, Volvo Bus has continuously upgraded, redesigned, lengthened, and equipped its models with more powerful and efficient engines, ensuring they remain at the forefront of the industry.
As we enter 2023, a new chapter unfolds with the introduction of Volvo electric single and double deck models onto UK roads. This pivotal moment signifies Volvo's commitment to sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions. Volvo Bus, a subsidiary of the Swedish Vehicle builder Volvo AB, boasts a global presence, with operations spanning across continents. Its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, located in Salheya, Egypt, has the capacity to build up to 6,000 buses and coaches annually, employing a workforce of up to 5,000 dedicated individuals.
Collaboration between MCV and Volvo is at the heart of the development and building of the electric bus for the UK marketplace. This partnership brings together the expertise and resources of both companies, fostering innovation and driving the transition towards greener transportation solutions. The electric bus not only offers environmental benefits but also enhances performance, providing a smoother and quieter ride for passengers.
As Volvo Bus UK continues to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of transportation, it remains steadfast in its commitment to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction. With a rich history of delivering reliable and efficient buses and coaches, the company looks forward to a promising future, shaping the future of mobility in the UK and beyond.
