Euro Bus Expo

30 Oct 2018

Britain’s leading bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) presents a selection of the market’s widest range of low and zero emission buses, as well as members of its Plaxton coach range, at Euro Bus Expo 2018.

The successful BYD ADL partnership continues to lead the British market for electric buses with over 215 now delivered or firmly ordered and the Enviro400EV double decker on track to be launched in the first half of 2019. A new single deck Enviro200EV demonstrator will begin a tour of UK towns and cities after its appearance at Euro Bus Expo. It provides full zero emissions capability even on demonstrations thanks to a compact mobile EV charger that can be transported inside the vehicle and plugs into operators’ existing mains electricity.

The demonstrator has been built to a high specification that creates an atmosphere befitting its state-of-the-art environmental credentials with an electroluminescent ceiling as well as the provision of wireless phone charging on its two social seating tables – provided for the first time on a single deck bus – and a media shelf at the first raised row of seats.

Passengers will sit comfortably on the high-back ADL SmartSeat, which is now available with integrated passenger amenity consoles complete with wireless bell push, USB charger, phone holder, reading light and bag hooks.

Also featured is the SmartVision system that replaces traditional mirrors with high-definition digital cameras and displays mounted inside the cab for direct and clear visibility. With a wider angle covered and automatic adjustment of screen brightness as well as digital image correction to compensator for lighting, shadows and glare, SmartVision not only provides a safety benefit but also reduces the risk of mirror damage or injury to passengers or pedestrians.
