Alexander Dennis (ADL) has announced an order for 32 Enviro100EV buses from Go-Ahead London.
The operator will use ADL’s next-generation battery-electrics, which are 8.5m in length and 2.35m in width, on narrow streets and housing estates to take full advantage of the superior manoeuvrability they offer. That applies to Transport for London routes R1, R3, R4, R8 and 233.
Stagecoach expects to deliver them to Go-Ahead London’s Orpington depot early in 2025.
Neil Gladstone, National Account Manager for ADL, says: “Our Enviro100EV is a great fit for the smallest size of single-deck bus operated on behalf of Transport for London, offering a great passenger experience and features of Transport for London’s Bus Safety Standard and combining this with a driveline and batteries designed for longevity.
“We’re delighted that Go-Ahead London has chosen the Enviro100EV for its small bus requirements and look forward to delivering these vehicles in early 2025.”
Go-Ahead London’s move follows a Stagecoach London order announced in July for 24 examples of the new model.
Chris McKeown, Go-Ahead London’s Engineering Director, adds: “These vehicles showcase high-quality public transport and we look forward to deploying the Enviro100EV fleet on a series of busy outer London services in 2025.
“As the capital’s most experienced, largest and innovative zero-emission bus company, I have every confidence they will be well received by colleagues and passengers alike.”
