Chronology
Predecessor	Plaxton Profile

With a width of 2.50 metres, it is five centimetres narrower than the United Kingdom standard. When designed, it was envisaged that it would also be manufactured by Australian bodybuilder Custom Coaches, at the time a subsidiary of Plaxton's parent Alexander Dennis, where there is a narrower width limit. Even though it never ended up being produced in Australia, the narrower width remained.^[1]

Initially fitted to Volvo B9R chassis, it has since been adapted for the replacement Volvo B8R.^[2][3][4]
