Stagecoach Cambridge to place Enviro400EV in service

Stagecoach Cambridge will be the first provincial operator to place the battery-electric BYD ADL Enviro400EV double-decker into service. Two will start carrying passengers in the university city from Monday 17 February.

Both buses will be used on the Citi 6 route. They are not the first to be built to single-door layout, and follow 32 constructed for Stagecoach Manchester, but the latter have not yet entered service.

Stagecoach worked with the Greater Cambridge Partnership on the project to procure the buses. They will help to “inform potential future investment in a zero-emission bus fleet.”

Those for Stagecoach Cambridge will also be the first lower-height, 4.2m variants to enter service. All of the Enviro400EVs already in service in London are 4.3m high. The Cambridge buses have 70 ADL SmartSeats and can carry a further 13 standees.

Says Stagecoach East MD Michelle Hargreaves: “The addition of electric buses is a further step forward in our attempts to keep emissions to a minimum. By the end of 2020 Stagecoach will have one of the biggest electric bus fleets in Europe.”

Adds ADL Chief Executive Colin Robertson: “Double-deckers are the backbone of bus services in Britain. The BYD ADL Enviro400EV enables their electrification. It has been designed to provide a viable operational range without compromising the passenger experience.

“We are delighted that the Greater Cambridge Partnership and Stagecoach are the first in the UK regions to enjoy its benefits and make buses an even more sustainable choice.”

BYD (UK) Managing Director Frank Thorpe says he expects the Enviro400EV to continue to expand its customer portfolio.

“With the success of our BYD ADL Enviro400EV in London, it is no surprise that a major operator such as Stagecoach can see the benefits of electric mobility elsewhere,” explains Mr Thorpe.

BYD says the Enviro400EV’s range is up to 160 miles, dependent on duty cycle.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
