NFI Group’s (NFI) subsidiary is expanding its zero-emission bus portfolio with the addition of new electric bus products.

The bus will be available for customer delivery starting in late 2023.

It will complement the already existing, highly successful products of the BYD ADL partnership, which will continue to be sold and supported.

The move brings Alexander Dennis’ battery-electric buses in line with the company’s long-established strategy of offering integrated vehicles alongside buses built on selected partners’ chassis.

The new designs, developed in-house with third-party input from Coventry University, will give the new models curb appeal and highlight their zero-emission credentials.

Buses for the United Kingdom and Ireland will be fully built in Britain. Details and technical specifications will be released over the coming months.

The BYD ADL Enviro200EV and BYD ADL Enviro400EV will continue to be offered in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand, giving operators an unrivalled choice of solutions.

Alexander Dennis’ second-generation hydrogen bus, the Enviro400FCEV, will also continue to form an important part of the company’s zero-emission bus solutions and will be delivered to launch customer Liverpool City Region later this year. 

“Alexander Dennis continues to lead the transition to zero-emission mobility, and this unparalleled investment in the latest zero-emission technology gives operators, transport authorities and councils the freedom to choose from an even wider range of buses,” says Paul Davies President & Managing Director, Alexander Dennis.

“Investments can be made safe knowing that everything will continue to receive the first-class aftermarket support that we are renowned for.”

NFI is a leader in zero-emission mobility, with electric vehicles operating (or on order) in more than 110 cities in six countries.

NFI has zero-emission buses and coaches, infrastructure, and technology, providing lots of urban demands for scalable smart mobility solutions. 

Alexander Dennis Limited is a global leader in the design and manufacture of double-deck buses and is also the UK’s largest bus and coach manufacturer. 

NFI Group’s (NFI) is up 0.60 per cent, trading at C$13.42 at 12:47 pm EST.
