Northgate adds wheelchair accessible buses

Northgate Vehicle Hire has introduced a brand new range of wheelchair accessible buses to its fleet.

Nick Cash, head of Northgate Public Sector, said: “We are very aware of our responsibility to the communities we operate in and we hope that the introduction of the wheelchair accessible vehicles will directly benefit the local communities throughout the UK and Eire.

“The wheelchair accessible buses are state-of-the-art vehicles and we’re genuinely excited about the potential they might have for improving the day-to-day lives of those who really need it. In difficult economic times, we certainly think our fleet can offer the service that the community deserves.”

The fleet boasts fuel-efficient Euro 5 engines, 3.8t or 5t derivatives, automatic transmissions and completely flexible seating layouts and wheelchair fixtures.
