Info (SP): Las 7 unidades que forman esta remesa han sido hasta la fecha los únicos vehiculos articulados en formar parte de la flota de Global. Los introdujo Utinsa en 1995 y fueron permanentemente asignados a las lineas 327 y 328 que conectaban Las Palmas con el Campus Universitario. Dos de las unidades que lo formaban habían pertenecido anteriormente a la empresa madrileña Interbus, siendo estos las unidades 10 y 17 de dicha empresa. Tras la fusion de Salcai y Utinsa en el año 2000 y con la llegada de vehiculos de 15 metros, estos vehiculos fueron explotados para rutas de alta demanda hasta que sus motores no pudieron mas. Era evidente que no se pretendía mantenerlos mucho tiempo ya que nunca fueron repintados con los colores de Global. Fueron oficialmente retirados en 2005 y mantenidos en cocheras donde fueron pudriéndoselos lentamente hasta su desguace en 2009.

Info (EN): The 7 vehicles which form this batch were, to this date, the only articulated buses to ever form part of Global's fleet. They were introduced by Utinsa in 1995 and they were permanently assigned to lines 327 and 328 which connected Las Palmas with the University Campus. Two of these buses had previously been owned by the Madrid-based Interbus, where they served as units 10 and 17. After the fusion of Salcai and Utinsa in the year 2000 and after the arrival of new 15-metre long vehicles, these buses were brutally exploited to cover high density routes units their engines could no longer handle the over-usage. It was evident from the start that the new management at Global did not intend to keep these for long since they were never painted with the Global livery colours. They were officially withdrawn in 2005 and kept at the depot where they slowly rotted until their scrapping in 2009.
