Click for GalleryCambridgeshire county council waste awareness section tendered for a copy of their existing Vehicle built by Keillor Coachbuilders in early 2008. We won this contract and progressed the build program by collecting the existing schools library base vehicle from the customer in the south of England and transporting it up to our facility in Arbroath, Scotland.

Internally the vehicle was stripped of all its existing furniture and all the external windows were closed off and made good. A complete new aluminium framework was constructed then constructed to house seating, display boards and overhead lockers required internally. The interior then had a coat of dark blue paint to the customer’s specification prior to internal fit out. Fibre optic lights were one of the featured items within the roof void along with LED down lighters and large display boards along each side.

The vehicle had to have a complete external respray to the corporate colours and to match their existing vehicle and Keillor worked closely with the client to achieve the desired affect.

Aberdeen Waste Awareness Vehicle

This super mobile for Aberdeenshire Council is spearheading the waste awareness and recycling campaign in the North East of Scotland.

Based on a Volvo B12B single deck chassis with the Plaxton body shell having a gross vehicle weight of 18 tonnes.

We have recreated the Plaxton Paragon body shape with an increased overall vehicle height of 4.5m.

The main feature of extending side pods and internal rising floor gives a vehicle of almost double the internal floor area.

The design team at Keillor's have been able to achieve this using hydraulic pistons powered from electric hydraulic power packs with setup time of under three minutes.

The internal design incorporates ten hidden IT workstations built into sliding pod units with LAN and racking computer system at front of the coach. A large plasma display is provided for presentations and promotional work.

This vehicle will be used in a number of different ways and as a lecture theatre that can host up to one hundred people.

The external livery has been much admired and was prepared by our graphics team working with Aberdeenshire Council.
