Plaxton Primo

Plaxton Primo

The Plaxton Primo is a type of small 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 final assembly is supplied in right hand drive format as a running unit to Plaxton. Final body assembly is undertaken by Plaxton in Scarborough (UK).

The body and chassis design is also available in both one and two door left hand drive format.

It was originally intended to replace the Beaver (built on Mercedes-Benz Vario chassis), but pressure from small operators like Western Greyhound persuaded Plaxton to continue that model. This is because the larger bus cannot fit down narrow roads that the Vario is suited to.

Much of the design of the Primo was put into the styling of the larger Plaxton Centro.

The first large operator to buy the Primo was East Yorkshire Motor Services, taking 6 in June 2006
