New length options for ADL-BYD e-Buses
By Jim Gibbins - 1st November 2019
UK / China - Recent delivery of 22 buses from the BYD ADL partnership - BYD Europe BV of Schiedam, the Netherlands and Alexander Dennis Ltd of Lambert, UK - to Go-Ahead London, signals introduction of a shorter 10.2m Enviro200EV. The operator now has 98 ADL BYD buses - nearly half the total of over 200 electric buses the partnership has delivered to operators throughout the UK.
The new variant provides a reduced turning circle and enhanced manoeuvrability. A 9.6-metre model will follow later in the year with 11 buses for Go-Ahead London plus, an additional 13, 10.8m versions are on order and are scheduled to go into service in early 2020.
