USA / UK – UK bus and coach manufacturer, Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL) based in Larbert, Scotland, announced that is growing its presence in the North American market, with an order for 12 battery-electric Enviro500EV double-deck buses manufactured by its new North American build partner (Big Rig Manufacturing). These buses will be delivered to the public transport agency, Foothill Transit, to operate in downtown Los Angeles in 2026. The bus has been selected due to its high passenger capacity (100) which will run on a popular route linking two heavily-populated parts of the city.
ADL established its new North American operation with its build partner Big Rig Manufacturing* of Las Vegas, USA in 2023. ADL closed previous production facilities in Indiana and Toronto in 2020. There are over 1,000 Alexander Dennis double-deckers currently in service in North America with many existing customers, having vehicles approaching replacement.
