• National Express has unveiled an updated version of its Expressliner, the singledecker coach which is custombuilt for its 90 operators.
The Expressliner II still uses a Plaxton Premiere 350 body on a Volvo B1OM chassis.
Improvements include the Volvo THD 102 KB engine, which meets Euro-1 emission standards. It drives through a choice of gearboxes: the Volvo G7-EGS seven-speed electropneumatic manual; the ZF S6-85 six-speed manual; and the ZF 5HP590 five-speed fully automatic with EST18 control system and integral two-stage retarder.
The Volvo and ZF manual transmissions have Telma CC160 retarders as standard. Anti-lock braking is fitted as standard.
