HOW SOON WILL I TAKE DELIVERY OF MY NEW MINIBUS?

Aug 14, 2018

New legislation regarding vehicle emission testing has been introduced, which is leading to severe disruption in the manufacture of new vehicles in Europe. The manufacture of some Minibuses has been further complicated by additional new regulations relating to braking performance. Ford Motor Company, the market leader for Minibuses, are currently advising that delivery of Minibuses with more than 9 seats, is likely to be delayed until May or June 2019. There is still very limited availability of 17 seater Minibuses in stock but this is expected to run out soon. Minibus Leasing UK does have access to these available vehicles but they will probably go very quickly. If you have an immediate requirement, please contact us and we will do our very best to assist you. WHAT ABOUT SMALLER MINIBUSES? The good news is that we have reserved a continual supply of 8 or 9 seater minibuses and these are all being built to comply with the latest European regulations. However, demand is high so please, do plan ahead and place your orders as soon as you are able, to avoid delivery delays.
