BYD/ADL partnership sees fourth route go electric

A new fleet of 11 BYD/ADL 10.8m Enviro200EV pure electric single deckers took over operation of a fourth London bus route, on Saturday (3 February). All are operated by Go-Ahead.

The Finsbury Park-Moorgate route 153, operated by Go-Ahead London runs an intensive service from 0500-2300hrs and the new buses run from Northumberland Park Garage, Tottenham, north London.

BYD supplied the depot with its own-designed and manufactured charging points.

The new buses marked the transfer of the route to Go-Ahead from CT Plus.

The other three ADL BYD serviced London routes, all with Go-Ahead, are the 521 and 507 from Waterloo and the 360 from Camberwell. Other routes and operators will receive fleets of BYD ADL electric buses in the coming months following tender wins by the partnership.

"We are delighted to make another significant step in the electrification of London's bus routes and to be in the vanguard of the transformation. At Go-Ahead we have developed considerable practical knowledge of electric bus operation, gained over six years, and are well positioned to contribute further to the improvement of the capital's air quality", said Richard Harrington, Go-Ahead Group's Engineering Director.

"The smooth switch on of our electric buses to operate another intensive London route is a testament to the strength of our overall offering – not just the proven and reliable buses themselves but of the back up and support of our partners in planning and installing the necessary equipment to make electric bus operation successful from day one", said Frank Thorpe, UK Country Manager for BYD UK, speaking on behalf of the ADL BYD partnership.

BYD sold over 14,000 electric buses globally in 2017 and, in partnership with ADL, single deck market leader in the UK, its fleets in London, Liverpool and Nottingham have already accumulated well over a million miles of emissions free operation on UK roads.
