A Sydney charter business has opted for the Higer H9250 Midi Boss for private school runs
Norwest Coaches has selected the Higer H9250 Midi Boss to be utilised on private school runs due to the vehicles safety and luxurious features.
Norwest Coaches is a charter business in the north-west of Sydney, primarily operating club and pub courtesy runs and specialised school runs.
Fleet Manager Steve Trlin says the company bought its first Higer about eight months ago and it is used for transporting students to two different schools in Sydney’s Hills District.
“We know that parents want their children to get to and from school in safety and comfort, and we felt the Higer could offer both,” he says.
“The bus uses very well regarded component brands, so we knew it was going to be reliable, and the quality of the finishes is very high.”
The Midi Boss is powered by a Cummins ISB e5 6.7 litre power plant, which is mated to an Allison automatic transmission for easy-starting and efficient operation.
The model also features Wabco ABS disc brakes and Firestone airbag suspension, and like all Higer buses, the 41 seat Midi Boss is equipped with seatbelts.
The Higer Midi Boss is used on the Hills Grammar and William Clark school runs.
“There are children on this route travelling more than 30 kilometres per day, so it’s essential we can transport them not only in comfort, but on a bus that is extremely reliable and very safe,” says Trlin.
