Wheelers Travel is a further early customer for the next-generation Yutong TC9, having taken delivery of one of the new models from Pelican Bus and Coach.

It has mood lighting, USB charging points and 240-volt power sockets, an ergonomic driver-focused cab area and more as part of a wholesale interior overhaul.

Pelican UK and Ireland Coach and Truck Sales Manager Simon Collins describes the latest TC9 as “a huge improvement from the previous market-leading model” and points to its revised external styling and slight length gain as notable changes. The latter allows an uplift to luggage capacity.

No change has been made to the driveline, which continues to use the Cummins B6.7 engine developing 320bhp coupled to a ZF EcoLife automatic gearbox.

Mr Collins has thanked Wheelers Travel Managing Director Derek Wheeler for the order. “Wheelers Travel has been a trusted supporter of Pelican for many years, building relationships and friendships that last,” says Mr Collins.
