HONG KONG
Alexander Dennis has launched its next-generation Enviro100EV small zero-emission bus at the ReThink HK sustainability event in Hong Kong. It is the first time the manufacturer has shown the Enviro100EV in the territory, where it complements its existing high-capacity Enviro500EV zero-emission double-decker.
With a length of 8.5m and a narrow width of 2.35m, Alexander Dennis says the Enviro100EV is ideal for operators who run services in narrow streets or are otherwise limited in space, making the bus a perfect choice for private residential services as well as corporate or education transport and other shuttle duties in the region. In Hong Kong specification, the compact bus offers room for up to 28 seats and capacity for up to 45 passengers in total. Powered by the medium-duty Voith Electrical Drive System, a choice of 236kWh and 354kWh batteries provides energy to suit for different range requirements.
Alexander Dennis Managing Director Asia Pacific Andy Boulton said: “The Enviro100EV is a fantastic combination of high passenger capacity with a small vehicle footprint and stylish, modern design, ready to make a landmark statement of any operator’s investment in zero-emission buses. This zero-emission bus is ideal for operators with limited space, giving them a durable vehicle with an expected operational life of up to 20 years thanks to its uncompromising design as a heavy-duty vehicle. The Enviro100EV builds on almost 50 years of Alexander Dennis experience in Hong Kong and is fully backed up by our comprehensive customer support.”
