Alexander Dennis has just raised the curtain on the first next-generation Enviro400EV battery-electric double decker built to Transport for London (TfL) specification. The bus belongs to the new generation e-bus range developed in house by Alexander Dennis (meaning outside of the partnership with BYD).
The bus, fitted with 472kWh batteries as standard, comes together with a 14-years warranty, covering as many as 1 million km (whichever comes first). The vehicle launched this week is a demonstrator “which will be made available to operators upon completion of its homologation and certification later this year“, in Alexander Dennis’ words.
Also the Enviro100EV will be soon launched in a version designed to fit TfL’s smallest size of single decker. Orders for both have been taken from London operators. The Enviro200EV single decker is now under development and will cover all other TfL vehicle requirements.
Also BYD – Alexander Dennis vehicles are set to increase in London: following an order that dates back to July 2023, Go-Ahead London to add nearly 300 units.
