This week London Borough of Havering Council have started taking delivery of 6 new Treka Mobility van converted minibuses. This contract was awarded to Treka Bus following a mini-competition managed by The Procurement Partnership, a leading provider of procurement services to UK local authorities.

Built on the popular Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform, these 5 tonne minibuses are capable of carrying up to 18 passengers plus driver while utilising a modified cab passenger door for entry.

The conversion specification includes Phoenix Sirius saloon passenger seats, tinted glazing for passenger privacy, an Eberspächer air conditioning system covering the cab and saloon, PLS Access H underfloor passenger lift, Mobitec digital destination sign, 5-camera CCTV system, and a full parking assistance package including reversing camera with front and rear parking sensors.

These vehicles join an established fleet of Treka minibuses operated by the authority across both adult social care and home-to-school transport operations.
