NFI Group (NFI) subsidiary Alexander Dennis Limited announced that ADL has supplied 12 electric double-deck buses to bus operator Xplore Dundee.
These new vehicles will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deliver cleaner, quieter, more sustainable mobility along one of Scotland’s most polluted streets.
The ADL and BYD UK electric vehicle partnership is the UK’s leading electric bus producer. ADL is a subsidiary of leading independent global bus manufacturer NFI, while BYD is a global leader in batteries, energy management and electric mobility.
Xplore Dundee is based in Dundee, Scotland, and is part of McGill’s, a major UK bus operator.
Built in Scotland at ADL’s factory in Falkirk, the 12 BYD ADL Enviro400EV are Dundee’s first zero-emission buses. The introduction of these electric buses will further improve local air quality in a city, Dundee, Scotland, that is at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution, with a council-owned fleet of more than 150 EVs.
“NFI is pleased to provide these electric buses to drive zero-emission mobility in Dundee, Scotland, a city that is gaining worldwide recognition for its ambition and vision,” said Paul Soubry, President and Chief Executive Officer, NFI.
“The evolution to zero-emission transportation is accelerating around the world, and NFI continues to lead the charge through the provision of industry leading vehicles, infrastructure, service, workforce development and aftermarket support.”
The deployment of these electric buses in Dundee comes shortly after the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, also held in Scotland, where similar BYD ADL electric buses helped transport delegates and state leaders, demonstrating that electric buses are an essential part of the solution to the climate emergency.
“This is a milestone moment for us at Xplore Dundee – we are so proud to bring these electric double-deckers to Dundee, the first of their kind for the city, said Christine McGlasson, Managing Director, Xplore Dundee.
“Our fleet is now three-quarters low or zero emission – and we’re not going to stop there. We believe that buses are the solution to pollution, and as part of the McGill’s group we intend to continue investing in our fleet to provide a cleaner, greener public transport offering to the people of our Dundee.”
NFI is a leader in zero-emission mobility, with electric vehicles operating in more than 80 cities in five countries. NFI offers the widest range of zero-emission battery and fuel cell electric buses and coaches, and the company’s vehicles have completed over 50 million EV service miles.
NFI Group Inc. (NFI) opened trading at C$20.86 per share.
