Alexander Dennis has delivered five Enviro400 double deckers to operator Stephensons of Essex. The new Enviro400s each have 86 seats fitted with USB charging ports. They are the first on Alexander Dennis chassis for the operator, joining similar buses on third-party chassis as well as a large number of Enviro200 single-deckers in the operator’s 140-vehicle fleet.
Stephensons Chairman Bill Hiron said: “This delivery of five new double deck buses from Alexander Dennis is fantastic news for customers across our service network who benefit from the further upgrade to their journey experience. The Enviro400 offers a great combination of seating capacity and operational efficiency which will help us keep our costs down.”
Alexander Dennis Regional Sales Manager Martin Dunleavy added: “We’re delighted to have delivered these five Enviro400 double deck buses to Stephensons of Essex where they add to the operator’s immaculate fleet. We look forward to supporting these buses throughout their working lives with our wide range of AD24 aftermarket services.”
