About this vehicle:
MCV has launched its new single-deck bus, which is based on the Volvo B8RLE chassis. It benefits from family styling and shared components with its double-deck sibling, the eVoSeti.
Called eVoRa (sic), the new single-deck bus is being sold in the UK and Ireland by Volvo. The first three examples of the new model have already been sold; six are available for stock; and six more are on the way.
The 12.2m heavyweight offers 46 passenger seats, 43 of which are forward facing with three-point seatbelts. One wheelchair can be accommodated.
Full story inside issue 1331 - online from Tuesday (February 27), with subscribers from Wednesday (February 28) and in WH Smith from Thursday (March 1).

Nice cab looks like the loo on a plane. very noisy and lovely rattle top job.

[@wakandaforever5732]

Robert Lidster yeah, cab ergonomics on Dennis buses is much better!

[@joeypalmiero7576]

Definitely not in the passenger seats of the Dennis buses, they’re awful

[@Mk3cav]

Absolutely beautiful vehicle I'd recommend to stagecoach/First.

[@FM60260]

These are more likely to appeal to operators like Transdev. Stagecoach only seem to want ADL but I believe it's because they own part of them and First seem to be opting for the cheapest they can buy at the moment.
