First Glasgow BYD D8-UR/Alexander Dennis Enviro 400EV
ADL/BYD partnership delivers its 1000th electric bus…
Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) and BYD UK have jointly announced that their electric vehicle partnership, the UK’s leading electric bus producer, has already delivered its 1000th zero-emission bus. The bus in question, a BYD D8-UR/ADL Enviro400EV double decker, which was part-funded by the Scottish Government, was handed over to Stagecoach Bluebird in Aberdeen during Scottish Bus Week in the presence of the Scottish Government’s Minister for Just Transition, Employment and Fair Work.
Working in partnership since 2015, sales of the market-leading, British-built BYD ADL Enviro200EV single deckers and BYD ADL Enviro400EV double deckers have accelerated rapidly as the transition to zero-emission mobility gathers pace in the UK. While it took five years to reach the 500th BYD ADL electric bus, the partnership has now delivered its 1000th vehicle just one year later.
That particular bus was the last of a fleet of 22 BYD ADL Enviro400EV double deckers which Stagecoach bought for services in Aberdeen with financial support from the Scottish Ultra-Low Emission Bus Scheme. Stagecoach has since confirmed an order for an additional 13 electric buses of the same type for Aberdeen following the award of funding through the Scottish Government’s follow-on scheme, the Zero-Emission Bus Challenge Fund.
One of the largest collection electric buses made by the BYD/ADL Partnership is with First Glasgow and their 38433 (LG22AVK) is seen here.
