Further investment in Bee Network franchised bus services in Greater Manchester is evident in Oldham, a depot now run by Stagecoach Manchester having previously been with First before the third and final tranche of reregulation at the start of 2025. Stagecoach has placed into service there a batch of Alexander Dennis Enviro400EV battery-electric double-deckers.

 

These are of the 'next generation' of battery-electrics from the manufacturer, following its earlier work to body BYD chassis for the UK and other markets. A ride on one of these demonstrated that the newer model is impressive, with a total lack of noise - unlike some earlier electrics where motor whine was rather pronounced. The Voith Electrical Drive System is used by Alexander Dennis, a package that has drawn acclaim for its efficiency. Here 80104 (SK74 BJJ) is seen in Oldham bus station while working an 84 journey to Grotton.

It felt like a dream sequence.

 

With thousands of incoming requests, I happened to be at the right place at the right time to sign up for the first Tesla Model S Sedan, a fully electric, zero emissions car that can go 300 miles and 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.

 

(The “S-1” designation is a bit magical for me since the filing of a “Form S-1” with the SEC is the commencement of the IPO process. =)

 

After the car drove out into the party inside the SpaceX rocket plant for it’s public unveiling, Elon Musk took me for the first test drive of the new machine. I took a video of the whole ride.

 

One cool detail I missed in the video was the door handles extending linearly outward (providing a big grip for opening) and then retracting back into the door frame for a perfectly smooth surface.

 

The interior design is as radical as the iPhone; most of the dash is a 17" touch screen. There are no buttons or dials. And with a software-defined UI, various skins and web services are available over the 3G data link (as well as Internet browsing and HDTV). I’ll put another request in for an open interface for downloadable engine ring tones (the car is silent, so why not have the drive-by-wire data feed trigger the sounds of your favorite vintage gas-passing vehicle or rocket…)

 

The batteries and liquid-cooled AC induction motor (i.e., the entire weight of the drive train) are below the wheel line so it handles unlike any car I have experienced.

 

And that means that there is a trunk in front and in back and more interior space than any other sedan. Toss bikes with the wheels on through the hatchback. Or seat seven people.

 

Clearly I am enamored. Another short video from outside as the new customers for the Sedan take test drives around the block.

Yutong E10 in Nottingham city centre.

In the relatively calm surrounds of Solihull Town Centre, with not a soul to be seen, is an equally quiet sounding electric powered Alexander Dennis BYD double decker.

 

Named 'Ivy Wren', in it's sixth day of service, E005 is one of nineteen of the type allocated to Yardley Wood from July 2020 to primarily work the 6 route.

Seen in Reading, Berkshire on Purple 17 Service to Wokingham Road.

 

The first set of fully electric battery-powered buses entered service on 6 February.

 

The buses have entered service in Reading Buses 125th anniversary year as Reading Borough Council acquired the town’s horse-drawn tramway in 1901 to electrify it. To help mark this occasion, bus number 4 has a special golden design to celebrate this.

 

The new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400EV's were launched Great Knollys Street depot in Reading on Thursday 5 February 2026.

 

The new Zero Emission Buses for the Reading Area – or ZEBRA for short – looked impressive lined up and the event even featured there new mascot for the zero emission buses – Zippy the Zebra – who will be present at future events including our charity Open Day.

 

Reading Buses confirmed the existing bio-methane fuelled purple 17 buses are staying with the company, but are being refurbished before moving onto other routes, namely berry 23/24 and sky blue 15/16.

 

There will also be a further six elecrric buses joining the fleet in 2026 on the yellow 26 route between Central Reading, Southcote and Calcot.

 

This will see the Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 Classic's all Withdrawn from service later in the year.

Go North East's new Wright Streetdeck Electroliners for service Angel 21 (Newcastle-Gateshead-Low Fell-Chester Le Street-Durham and Brandon) are seen here at Utilita Arena Newcastle this morning ahead an event for Go-Ahead Staff Only to view the vehicles ahead of them entering service tomorrow.

Powered by Hydrogen it looks like something from a SciFi movie.

 

Maybe the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft. The ambition is to fly by 2035.

Hydrogen propulsion ZEROe concept aircraft enables a variety of configurations and hydrogen technologies that will shape the development of future zero-emission aircraft.

Two heavy electric motors were mounted on the front wheels of this Hedag, one on each side – but unfortunately one of them is missing.

 

The batteries are located underneath the driver’s seat and at the rear. Its range was approximately 80 km and its maximum speed 23 km/h. The Hedag had four-wheel brakes, which was unusual at the time.

 

Indicators in the form of small black boxes are situated on the mudguards. At the press of a button these boxes would open up and a little hand would appear, at the same time as the sounding of a crackling signal. Note the bell at the front which was necessary because you could not hear the car approaching.

 

The Hedag was designed as a taxi, but this model was privately owned. The original number plate of the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant is still on the car.

Hedag is an abbreviation of Hamburger Elektrische Droschken Aktien Gesellschaft. The company obtained a licence to run taxis after a ban had been

imposed on petrol taxis in cities such as Hamburg and Berlin.

Electrification of larger bus fleets in Scotland is progressing well, with funding from the Scottish Zero Emission Bus challenge fund being a major contributor to that pace. Stagecoach has been a major beneficiary of such Scottish Government funding. Its West Scotland business has a good number of battery-electric vehicles, including a decent batch of the latest-generation Alexander Dennis Enviro400EV. Here one of them - 80198 (SK25 AZD) is seen here arriving in Kilmarnock while working an 3 service to Shortlees.
