We also supply 9-seater minibuses, and large school minibuses for up to 17 passengers including wheelchair access if needed. Not forgetting our range of electric school minibuses.
Electric minibuses, such as the Ford eTransit, represent a cutting-edge solution for school transportation, offering both eco-friendliness and efficiency. These vehicles are designed to provide a quiet, smooth ride, ensuring comfort for students during their commute. With zero emissions, electric minibuses contribute significantly to reducing the school’s carbon footprint, promoting a cleaner environment. Additionally, they benefit from lower running costs compared to traditional diesel minibuses, due to fewer moving parts and reduced maintenance requirements. Equipped with advanced safety features and modern amenities, electric minibuses like the Peugeot eBoxer are the ideal choice for schools looking to combine sustainability with reliability.
