• Willowbrook has added a new single-decker service bus body named the Warrior to its UK PSV bodywork range.
The Loughborough-built Warrior has the same basic construction as Willowbrook's single-deck Crusader coach body, including an all-steel subframe with aluminium body panels. It also features an easily detachable grille and headlamp arrangement and sectional construction at the most vulnerable body areas to keep repair costs down. Bus operators will be able to order the Warrior as a standard 11-metre 57-seater, or in nine or 12 metre versions. Willowbrook is also offering the Warrior with a wide variety of specifications from welfare to full stage carriage, with the options of moquette-trimmed seats and full luggage pens.
A metre-wide scissor-type door is fitted as standard with a 200mm-high entry step.
Willowbrook says its Warrior bus body can be fitted to most new chassis like the Volvo MOM and is also suitable for refurbishing older chassis such as the Leyland Leopard and Bedford YRT and YMT.
According to Willowbrook director Peter Hughes, the Warrior will sell for between £24,000-£26,000 depending on the final specification.
