Pelican Bus & Coach unveiled its new Yutong GT12 coach on the first morning of the Euro Bus Expo. The first is 12.2m and has 53 seats and a centre sunken toilet to demonstrate the maximum capacity at that length. In the longer term, the 12.2m variant will be marketed as a 51-seater.
To complement that, Pelican and Yutong have already discussed adding further models to the line-up. The Chinese manufacturer is working to make a 12.8m version viable within UK weight limits. A tri-axle will follow.
Also on the drawing board is a slightly lower-height example. Currently, the GT12 is 3.81m tall, but a 3.60m option is planned. Pelican is aiming the GT12 at the touring market. It is of a higher specification than the existing TC12, which will continue to form part of the UK landscape.
USB charging points are provided for every passenger, while 240v sockets are at alternate rows.
