Its organisers say the Euro Bus Expo bus and coach show last week at the NEC was a success.  Encouragingly, exhibitors reported improving order books for vehicles and their supporting products and services.  The show ran from 2 to 4 November and had 260 exhibitors showing more than 100 buses and coaches and a wide range of supporting products and services.  Firsts included Volvo's new tri-axle B13 and Setra's S431 double-deck coach.  Wrightbus had its new StreetLite midi-bus there and Alexander Dennis showed its Enviro200.  Optare showed a 9.7 metre Versa hybrid mid-ibus for Greater Manchester.  The bus is one of a 32-strong order and uses a Siemens hybrid system with a Mercedes-Benz engine.
