First for Go-Ahead with Volvo-MCV order
Go-Ahead London is currently taking delivery of 20 Volvo B5LH Euro 6 hybrid double-decker buses – featuring new MCV bodywork – in the first of two orders totalling 85 vehicles.
Built to TfL standards and Go-Ahead specifications, these are the first ever buses featuring the new MCV ‘Evoseti’ styled bodywork on a hybrid chassis to be deployed in London.
