West Ewell, Surrey-based Edward Thomas and Son has purchased a Jonckheere JHV2-bodied Volvo B11R 12.57m coach from the Volvo Bus & Coach Centre in Coventry. The coach is fitted with 53 seats and centre toilet, air-conditioning, two TVs, reversing camera, fridge, boiler, crew seat and a Volvo 12-speed fully automated I-shift gearbox. Established in 1947, the business was founded by Edward Thomas. Upon his death in 1973 control passed to his son, Ivan Thomas who has carried on running the family business since. Volvo is the mainstay of the fleet and this coach was purchased as part of the company’s ongoing Euro VI upgrades and will be used on a mix of private hire and schools work. VOLVO
