Alexander Dennis/BYD electric bus introduced to Glasgow Airport in October 2019 to service the long term car park
Vilnius is relatively unusual among European trolleybus systems in that it still maintains a significant number of these Skoda 14Tr vehicles. A few run during off-peak times, but during rush periods many others come out to play. They have all the traditional trolleybus sounds and, equally authentically, are rather rough internally. As they're non-accessible it will be interesting to see how long they remain in use for, but for now, here is vehicle 2135 approaching the Stotis terminal outside the main railway station on an afternoon peak 7 journey.
BYD D8UR Alexander Dennis Enviro 200EV is seen here on Green Street, Kilmarnock on Service 3 to Shortlees.
In 2021 Stagecoach made £21.4m investment into 46 zero-emission buses introduced in Aberdeen, Perth and Kilmarnock as part of the Scottish Government’s Ultra Low Emission Bus scheme with £2.7m invested into Kilmarnock on these BYD D8UR Alexander Dennis Enviro 200EV's with similar examples forming a second batch in Perth, East Scotland.
It comes shortly after the introduction of six zero-emission Volvo 7900E buses for rural communities along the Irvine Valley to Kilmarnock, operated under partnership with SP Energy Networks which cost £2m again through Scottish Government’s Ultra Low Emission Bus scheme.

An offside view of one of the new Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner fleet with Stagecoach Merseyside, illustrating the glazed staircase that has been specified along with the same effect for the upper deck A-pillars. No doubt over the coming years this livery will become as prominent in the Liverpool City Region as Bee Network yellow has in Greater Manchester. Here 82412 (MW26 XYV) has just started an 82 journey from Liverpool South Parkway to Liverpool One in the city centre and is on Horrocks Avenue in Garston.
This Skoda 14Tr in the Lithuanian capital was the last of three running together here, presumably taking up service for the afternoon peak. One panel of the front door is open; it gives access only to the closed-off driver's cab and was no doubt so to give some relief from the heat, with air-conditioning only fitted to newer members of the Vilnius bus and trolleybus fleet. A trolleybus depot is close to this location of vehicle 2128 working a 16 journey to Stotis terminal in the centre of the city.

BYD D8UR Alexander Dennis Enviro 200EV is seen here at Canning Town, London on service 323 to Canning Town.
Entry into service of Metro-branded battery-electric buses in the Liverpool City Region started a few weeks ago. The opening introduction involved the Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner fleet at the Gillmoss depot of Stagecoach Merseyside, and over the last few days the first of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400EV models have now also hit the road.
There are 55 of the latter, all of which have been built for well over a year and stored by the manufacturer. The reason, as is often the case, was waiting on completion of charging infrastructure. That is now all done, and on the day that this shot was taken, 12 of the Enviro400EV fleet had carried passengers. Seen here is 80519 (SN26 XXZ), on its first day in service. As with the StreetDeck Electroliners, while it may currently be a Stagecoach bus, franchising awaits for Gillmoss, and hence it could move operator later.
The Enviro400EVs were part-funded by the government's Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme, and hence carry small 'funded by UK Government' decals at the rear. The StreetDeck Electroliners do not.

While the Wrightbus StreetDeck Hydroliner fleet operated by First Aberdeen may be the higher profile of the Granite City's zero-emission bus stock, Stagecoach Bluebird has quietly been introducing a greater number of BYD ADL Enviro400EV battery-electric double-deckers to its operation there. The driveline technology in these buses is proven stuff from BYD and the Enviro400EV in this format seems to be a reliable and competent performer wherever it is deployed. Here Stagecoach 14054 (LG22 AWF) approaches journey's end at Union Square bus station, the obligatory oil industry supply vessels that are a fixture of this part of Aberdeen visible behind it.
While the BYD ADL Enviro400EV may be a reliable performer, it does have a couple of awkward spots; the seating layout at the rear of the lower deck is poor, and weight - at well over 13,000kg unladen - is rather 'solid'. Are those among the reasons why Alexander Dennis will debut its own, entirely in-house Enviro400EV later this year? Who knows. The relationship with BYD will continue despite that, however.
BYD D8UR Alexander Dennis Enviro 200EV is seen here at Buchanan Bus Station on Service X8 to Pollok Circular.
Both bonnet and booth spaces were used to carry batteries. Brougham bodywork typical for American electric cars.

BYD D8UR Alexander Dennis Enviro 200EV is seen here at Canning Town, London on service 323 to Mile End.
Bus franchising is coming to the Liverpool City Region, and with it this yellow and grey Metro livery. The first franchise contracts will commence in autumn 2026 in St Helens and Wirral. As is obligatory with a franchising scheme, many new buses have been ordered in both battery-electric and diesel form. The former are made up of double-decks from Alexander Dennis and Wrightbus, with 108 in total due for use from Gillmoss depot.
Many of those buses have been built for a long time, with infrastructure work at what is currently a Stagecoach Merseyside operating centre having precluded their deployment until now. The 58 Enviro400EV examples have been part-funded by the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme, while the 50 StreetDeck Electroliners are fruits of the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement money. After a long wait, the StreetDecks began entering service in week commencing 8 June. Here 82416 (MW26 XZA) is seen approaching Liverpool One bus station on an 86C journey.
While China has been closed due to COVID-19 for a long time (only having reopened recently) development has continued at the usual pace while Western visitors were not around to see it. Here in Zhengzhou is a level 4 autonomous bus that is used to serve the large Finance Island manmade development, where it and others run alongside much smaller autonomous shuttle-type vehicles that are also made by Yutong. Sensors can be seen on both front corners.
As it is a level 4 autonomous vehicle it still requires a 'safety driver', but these full-size buses quite happily drive themselves with nobody onboard at the depot area, which is closed off to other traffic. As with all of Zhengzhou's urban bus fleet of several thousand vehicles, these autonomous buses are battery-electric. 5G is used for the necessary communication.
