In 2008, the new [[Plaxton Elite]] was launched at Birmingham [[Euro Bus Expo]] and by 2011 had delivered 100 Elites. Originally based on the [[Volvo B12B]] chassis, it was later developed to suit the [[Volvo B9R]] and [[Volvo B13R|B13R]] chassis.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 May 2011 |title=Plaxton delivers its 100th Elite |url=http://www.busandcoach.com/newspage.aspx?id=5440&categoryid=0 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141105134315/http://www.busandcoach.com/newspage.aspx?id=5440&categoryid=0 |archive-date=5 November 2014 |access-date=19 January 2012 |work=Bus and Coach Professional}}</ref>
