Autocares VIVAS continues to choose UNVI IVECO M20 midibuses to extend their fleet of vehicles. The vehicle was sold through the IVECO Antuña dealership, based in Tremañes, Gijón.

HERMANOS VIVAS started out in the sector in 1911, the year in which Mr. Segundo Vivas González committed to transport mail between León and Benavente in a six-seater stagecoach drawn by two horses. At the end of the First World War, in 1918, he acquired his first petrol car, an old second-hand medical ambulance, bought in France, which he converted into a bus with a capacity for fourteen passengers by installing benches at the back.

In 1928, maintaining his commitment to postal deliveries, the ministry granted him the exclusive rights to the route he had been running, and after going through the deplorable events of the civil war (in 1936 four of the six coaches he owned were confiscated), he handed over the management of the company to his son Mr. Emerio Vivas Cid, who has continued the expansion of the company up to the present day. At present, the company has a fleet of 60 buses dedicated to private transport, school and workers transport and, following the family tradition, the company is managed by two great-grandchildren of the founder.

The UNVI M20 range is available in several versions: tourism in 29+G+D or 27+G+D with Large Boot. The accessible version features up to 8 wheelchairs with side or rear lift. The range is completed by an urban version with lowered rear. The IVECO chassis is powered by a 210 hp engine and fitted with a HiMatic gearbox.

TIB – Transports de les Illes Balears, through the Official IVECO MEBASA Dealer, trusts in UNVI to add a new M20 Urban midibus to its fleet of vehicles.

With the aim of continuing the improvements introduced this year, TIB is launching this IVECO M20 unit, an accessible body on an Iveco Daily 70C21 chassis which, in its 8.2 metres in length, has a capacity for up to 35 passengers, both seated and standing.

This IVECO UNVI vehicle is a versatile, attractive and functional option that offers various bodywork versions that adapt to different operations: urban services, school transport, tourism and adapted transport.

Autocares Patri has once again placed its trust in UNVI to add a new M20 midibus to its fleet of vehicles. This model, sold through the distributor Iveco Bomloy, is a unit with bodywork on Iveco Daily 70C chassis, 8.5 metres long and 29 seats + guide and driver.
This versatile, attractive and highly functional range offers several versions of the Turismo bodywork in 29+G+D or 27+G with large luggage compartment. The accessible version reaches up to 8PMRs with side or rear platform. The range is completed by an urban version with lowered rear.

Autocares Patri has a long history, since 1961 when Don Patricio Meabe decided to dedicate himself fully to passenger transport by road and bought the first coach, thus Autocares Patri was born in Aranda de Duero, the first occasional transport company in the region of La Ribera.
Initially, it transported personnel to the sugar factory from the villages in the region.
Autocares Patri currently has a large fleet of modern, functional coaches and minibuses, adapted to the latest developments in safety and comfort, with reclining seats, double-glazed windows, DVD, TFT monitor, CD radio, microphone, individual reading lights, seat belts, heating, air conditioning and climate control. Some vehicles have a platform lift for transporting people with reduced mobility.
They are backed by more than 50 years of service to Aranda and the region of La Ribera. They provide a personalised service, both to important companies in the area and sports clubs, as well as to large national and foreign tour operators.
National and international travel service, transport of workers, tourist trips throughout Europe, transfers, excursions and visits, guided tours, etc.

The General Secretary of the PSdeG , José Ramón Gómez Besteiro, visited UNVI facilities in the company of the plant’s Management as well as the provincial General Secretary, Rafael Rodríguez Villarino;  the MP Margarita Martín Rodríguez and the regional MP, Carmen Rodríguez Dacosta.

The President of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda, visited the UNVI facilities together with Adrián Vázquez, candidate for the European elections, María Jesús Lorenzana, Councillor for Economy and Industry, Marta Novoa, Mayoress of San Ciprián de Viñas and Nicolás Vázquez Iglesias, Secretary General for Industry and Energy Development.

After the visit, the candidate Adrián Vázquez guaranteed the PPdeG’s commitment to “speed up” the arrival of European funds to companies, as in the case of UNVI, which he described as “a benchmark” in the Galician automotive industry.

The chairman of the board of directors, Eloy Pérez, explained the investment effort made in recent years, as well as underlining the commitment to the training and professionalisation of workers within the 2024 – 2028 industrial plan, seeking to increase competitiveness with other emerging markets.

The UNVI eC24s electric minibus makes it possible to renew the diesel fleet in any city, no matter how complex the operation: range, narrow streets, access to old town centres, hilly areas.

The UNVI eC24s minibus shows excellent manoeuvrability and solvency in very complex orography with its reduced dimensions (length 7.7 m and width 2.35 m), up to 289 kWh of batteries, 200 kW of power and up to 41 people in its shortest version.

This prize is awarded by the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Industriales de Galicia and the Asociación de Ingenieros Industriales de Galicia.

Timberbush Tours is one of Scotland’s oldest tour operators based in Edinburgh. Following its commitment to renew the fleet, improve service and better cover all areas of the region, Timberbush has once again entrusted UNVI as its partner in this mission. For this 2024 season, a total of 14 UNVI-bodied Mercedes-Benz Sprinters will be added.

This lot will be key to what the Edinburgh operator expects to be a year of strong tourism demand driven by growth in private and corporate rentals, along with day trips.
“In true Timberbush tradition, these vehicles are some of the most fuel efficient and cleanest on the market, while the company is continually committed to a spend and invest principle where a strict environmental policy is mandatory in every purchasing decision.”
These UNVI S20s have been supplied by Coachtraders, UNVI’s UK agent. According to Gordon Robertson, Director of Coachtraders, this is the largest order ever placed with the Whitburn dealer.

Minibus S20 Sprinter Mercedes-Benz

This modern and dynamic range will convince even the most demanding passengers. A minibus, yes, but its size is not at odds with top performance in terms of quality, safety, comfort and style. The S20 is, above all, a highly versatile range, easy to change, to transform according to the situation. This is why the different products – basic, tourism, transfer and PRM (for people with reduced mobility) – and vans cover any type of service and provide an effective solution to every need in the minibus segment: from the transport of schoolchildren, from the transport of goods or company employees, to luxury trips and tourist excursions or journeys between an airport and a hotel.
Excellent in terms of design and sustainable profitability, the S20 minibuses also have an excellent cost-benefit ratio.

The last unit of the first 100% electric suburban double-decker bus order in Europe was delivered.
A project started in 2020, where the SIL Class II bodywork, on BYD chassis, is already running on Route 230 in the south of France.
This route connects the centre of Nice to the Sophia-Antipolis technology park, via the famous Promenade des Anglais promenade, to the natural environment of Sophia-Antipolis, where this technology centre is located.
UNVI takes intercity transport to maximum efficiency with this model, up to 484.5 kWh of battery capacity, 300 km of range and a passenger capacity higher than other vehicles in its category (up to 93 people).
A new double-decker and long-distance body available in electric (0 emissions), bio CNG and biodiesel (HVO) chassis in Euro6E, in both Class II and Class III.
The entire UNVI team came out to commemorate this milestone after so much dedication and effort in this successful project.

The national spokeswoman, Ana Pontón, has reaffirmed the BNG’s commitment to Ourense, focusing on industry, infrastructure and mobility, three “priority” aspects for the development of the city and the province as a whole.
“UNVI shows how Ourense can develop cutting-edge technology and a new mobility that bets on electric buses,” he said.
