CVM Group launches first in-house minibus to mark 30th anniversary

CVM Group has launched its first-ever in-house minibus with the new model coinciding with the company's 30-year anniversary.

The new model is available in two versions: a diesel variant ready for immediate delivery and an electric model due to arrive later in 2025.

The vehicle has been developed to meet the specific needs of schools, charities, care providers and community organisations.

Kevin Connor, CVM Group chief executive, said: “We have spent years listening to our customers and understanding their frustrations with off-the-shelf solutions.

"The CVMinibus is the result of everything we have learned, built to meet the real-world demands of those who use these vehicles every day.”

The diesel version offers seating for up to 17 passengers, while the electric version seats 14 and delivers a WLTP range of 262 miles.

Both variants come with M1-tested seating, full restraint systems and IVA certification for regulatory compliance.

Interior features include USB charging points, LED lighting and saloon heating to support comfort on longer journeys.

Wheelchair accessibility and flexible layout options are available to make the CVMinibus suitable for operational environments like education, healthcare and local authorities.

The new model can be purchased outright, leased or financed, and is backed by CVM’s in-house operations and aftercare support.
