Hunts Coaches has sourced and is in the process of installing the latest technology in purifying air filters to its fleet of vehicles. The system uses Plasma air purification technology which has a powerful sterilisation function, killing viruses and other microbes.
It also eliminates unpleasant odours and improves the overall air quality in the vehicle. Six Hunts Coaches vehicles are currently fitted with the new purifying air filters and we are working hard to install to others.
