By Jim Gibbins - 25th March 2021
UK – Alexander Dennis Ltd of Larbert, part of NFI Group, has secured a further 172 electric bus orders through the Scottish Government’s award of GBP40.5m in funding to bus operators through a second round of the Scottish Ultra-Low Emission Bus Scheme.
Successful proposals for 172 zero-emission buses were made with ADL as the intended supplier and the company will now work with the awardees to finalise contracts for electric buses, which will be built by ADL in Falkirk in collaboration with Chinese partner, BYD. This follows an earlier first round of funding awarded in September 2020, which enabled 35 BYD ADL electric buses to be ordered by bus operators.
