Stagecoach Western Buses Alexander Dennis Enviro 400MMC
Stagecoach orders something new
Stagecoach has placed the first order for Alexander Dennis’s next-generation battery-electric buses, taking 55 Enviro400EV double deckers for its operation in Oxfordshire as part of the UK Government’s ZEBRA scheme.
Stagecoach is working with Oxfordshire County Council to decarbonise buses in and around Oxford thanks to funding from the UK Department for Transport as part of the Government’s Zero-Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme.
It will introduce 55 electric Enviro400EV on its Oxford city and Oxfordshire networks from late 2023, becoming the first customer to place a firm order for the new battery-electric double decker fully designed and built by Alexander Dennis.
Part of the next generation of Alexander Dennis zero-emission buses, the Enviro400EV is a battery-electric double decker to move large numbers of people on busy urban corridors and interurban expresses with an operational range of up to 260 miles on a single charge. Passengers will benefit from smooth rides and an improved lower deck seating layout.
The Enviro400EV uses a Voith Electrical Drive System next-generation electric driveline as well as the future-proof Alexander Dennis battery system, which ensures continuity of supply throughout vehicle life and will allow Stagecoach to benefit from technology advancements at a mid-life refresh without the need for vehicle modifications.
Stagecoach will therefore become the first operator of the new design of the Enviro 400EVs, complimenting the many of the diesel version of the Enviro 400 such as 10927 (SN67XAV) seen here. It will also cement a partnership with Alexander Dennis going back to the earliest days of Stagecoach as a bus operator.
