Luton buses go greener
2008-05-14
If you take an airfield bus to or from your flight at Luton Airport you’ll now be sitting on a more environmentally friendly vehicle.
The airport has bought four new fuel efficient models to replace the gas guzzlers it was previously using - and plans to renew its whole fleet.
Luton’s new COBUS 3000 vehicles feature lightweight aluminium bodies to cut down on fuel bills - and they also prolong vehicle life because aluminium doesn’t rust.
Savings of five litres of diesel per hour - even at the low speeds travelled on airport tarmac - are predicted.
The vehicles also boast wide doors on both sides and easier access for wheelchair users, the elderly and people with pushchairs.
You may also notice the anti-slip flooring and temperature management as you travel from plane to terminal building on the buses.
