Edinburgh based friend Stuart Montgomery, one of ‘Lothian Buses’ volunteer photographers, has recently forwarded these images, which I am pleased to share with you.
Followers of the blog may remember that I featured a prototype Volvo BZL/MCV bus in one of the blogs I posted from EUROBUS EXPO 2022 held at the NEC.
The BZL is a full size battery electric bus chassis engineered so that it can accept both single and double deck bodywork.
Currently, it is only available with Egyptian built MCV bodywork.
MCV have a reputation for building stylish, elegant and durable bodies and this one appears to be well up to standard.
One body styling feature I don’t think I have seen before is the way the rear turn indicators are interlaced with the brake lights.
I like it!
As usual, I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase Stuarts images which are reproduced here with his permission and my thanks.

The green interior lights are a touch unusual.
The seats look to be comfortable.
