new products: centro and Primo

Here are two photos showing new products from Transbus with silly names:
the Primo with an integral body with Dennis chassis shown on route 5 in Paisley.

the centro can be mounted on different chasis, and indeed this one is on a VD chassis, shown on route 17 in glasgow.

It's so funny that rear overhang longer than front overhang.!!!

Not only silly names, but silly looks!
These products seems to "ruin" the reputation of UK bus industry!
I wonder what they are intended for? Minibus? Medium-sized bus? Or large citybus?

The first one...really a bit funny...but I think the design has to suit the chassis. I wonder what is that chassis.

The second one, I think it looks ok! Nothing really silly...

How to "ruin", mind if I ask?

The Primo is an integral small midibus intended to compete with the Optare Solo,
whilst the Centro is a body for " super-midi" VDL SB200, MAN 14.220 and heavy-
duty B7RLE.

so far, this new range has not been very successful; not many operators bought those models!

only time will tell.

Hi yblumann,

They should be from the "new" Plaxton, not Transbus.  Am I correct?

Yes, they are from Plaxton, and nothing to do with Transbus or ADL. The only
"relationship" was Primo is, in all essence, what was supposed to be Enviro 100.
