NFI (NFI) subsidiary Alexander Dennis Limited, is showcasing one of its electric, zero-emission, double-deck buses at the COP26 in Scotland.
The bus, a BYD ADL Enviro400EV double-decker that has been lent by bus operator National Express, is located inside the security-controlled Blue Zone, where negotiations between world leaders take place.
ADL was invited by the UK Government as organizers of COP26 to present its solutions for sustainable transport to negotiators and global leaders in the Blue Zone at COP26. ADL has a long tradition of innovation, having brought the widest range of clean buses to market, including class-leading zero-emission technologies.
Over 1,000 battery-electric buses built in Britain by ADL in partnership with BYD are already on the road or on order in the United Kingdom, and second-generation hydrogen buses will follow next year.
ADL’s zero-emission buses for the United Kingdom are built in Britain, securing skilled green jobs and apprenticeship opportunities in the manufacturer’s own facilities across the country, as well as in its extensive supply chain. Internationally, ADL operates a network of local assembly facilities and benefits from the experience shared with sister companies within NFI.
Paul Davies, ADL President & Managing Director, remarked,
“Electric and hydrogen buses have critically important roles to play on the road to net zero. With our zero-emission buses operating not only across the UK but around the world, it is a great honour for Alexander Dennis to have been invited by the UK Government to present our zero-emission bus in the Blue Zone at COP26, reminding negotiators and world leaders that without investment in clean public transport, climate goals cannot be achieved.”
David Bradford, Managing Director of National Express West Midlands, added,
“National Express West Midlands is proud to be the UK’s greenest transport company. We bought our last ever diesel bus in 2019, and by 2030, our entire 1,600 West Midlands fleet will be zero-emission.
They’ve already saved over 1,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide going out into the atmosphere. It’s very exciting that one of those buses will be ‘in the room’ at COP26 where the decisions will be made that affect all of our futures.”
NFI is a leader in zero-emission mobility, with electric vehicles operating (or on order) in more than 80 cities in five countries.
Leveraging 450 years of combined experience, NFI is leading the electrification of mass mobility around the world. With zero-emission buses and coaches, infrastructure, technology, and workforce development, NFI meets today’s urban demands for scalable smart mobility solutions.
