The locally produced biodiesel further serves to reduce reliance on imported fuels and has fast-tracked Murrays Coaches’ drive for cleaner emissions. The order for the five new coaches, fitted with BCI bodies, was prompted by one of Murrays’ customers requesting a low emissions solution for the transport of workers from Brisbane to the Queensland interior. The vehicles all feature Scania’s state-of-the-art Advanced Driver Assistance Safety systems.
In 2022, Scania was able to provide a simple switchover to biodiesel compatibility for B100 for two of the Scania-based coaches already in service with the operator.
Murrays will be supplied by Scania’s partner ECOTECH Biodiesel, with deliveries made via Refuelling Solutions.
