‘Scene’ in Edinburgh, A Single Deck Volvo BZL/MCV

on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

 

Edinburgh based friend Stuart Montgomery, one of ‘Lothian Buses’ volunteer photographers, has recently forwarded these images, which I am pleased to share with you.

 

Followers of the blog may remember that I featured a prototype Volvo BZL/MCV bus in one of the blogs I posted from EUROBUS EXPO 2022 held at the NEC.

 

The BZL is a full size battery electric bus chassis engineered so that it can accept both single and double deck bodywork.

 

Currently, it is only available with Egyptian built MCV bodywork.

 

MCV have a reputation for building stylish, elegant and durable bodies and this one appears to be well up to standard.

 

One body styling feature I don’t think I have seen before is the way the rear turn indicators are interlaced with the brake lights.

 

I like it!

 

As usual, I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase Stuarts images which are reproduced here with his permission and my thanks.
