We're proud to announce the delivery of this brand-new UD Trucks New Zealand PK17-300, expertly built into a premium passenger bus by Coachworks Central Ltd, and supplied by Commercial Vehicle Centre, to Will Goudie and the team at Snowman Shuttles, Christchurch.
This impressive new addition will provide reliable passenger transport from Christchurch to the spectacular Mt Hutt Ski Area, ensuring skiers and snowboarders enjoy a journey that's safe, comfortable, and dependable.
Here's what Will had to say after putting the new bus through its paces:
“Uphill it has the torque to climb with ease. Downhill I have absolute control. The road is currently as challenging as it gets for the descent, and this vehicle handles it with ease. Without a doubt, the most reassuring vehicle I've driven down the Mt Hutt access road (this is my 21st winter driving this road). Across the plains and around the city the driver assistance system makes for a comfortable, relaxing drive.”
Congratulations to Will and the Snowman Shuttles team on their investment. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of your journey and look forward to seeing this outstanding new UD bus taking on the alpine roads for many winters to come!
