Plaxton Primo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Plaxton Primo is a type of low-floor bus based on the Enterprise Bus Plasma. It was launched by Plaxton in 2005 and has become very successful in the UK.
It is the result of close co-operation between Enterprise Bus Ltd (the chassis manufacturer) and Plaxton. The fully-welded stainless steel integral chassis assembly is supplied as a running unit to Plaxton.
It was originally designed to replace the existing Mercedes-Benz Vario/Plaxton Beaver, but pressures from small operators like Western Greyhound forced Plaxton to continue the model. This is because the larger bus cannot fit down narrow roads the Vario is suited to. Much of the design of the Primo was put into the styling of the larger Plaxton Centro.
