TheAlexander Dennis Enviro100EV is abattery electric integralmidibus built by British bus manufacturerAlexander Dennis. It is the first midibus produced by the company equipped with Alexander Dennis' own in-house electric drivetrain, complementing theBYD-poweredEnviro200EV in the Alexander Dennis product range.[2] The body of the bus is to be assembled inZhuhai in China, while the chassis of the bus is to be assembled with the body at the Alexander Dennis factory inScarborough in England.[3][4]
The Enviro100EV was announced as a new model in the Alexander Dennis range on 1 November 2022 at the Euro Bus Expo at theNational Exhibition Centre inBirmingham,England, with the first production model unveiled a year later on 1 November 2023.[3][4] The bus is primarily marketed at smaller bus operators running bus services in rural areas, although plans have been made to potentially introduce aTransport for London specification Enviro100EV by mid-2024, and an Enviro100EV for international markets was also in development as of November 2023.[5][3][4]
TheStagecoach Group was the launch customer for the Enviro100EV, with the first 12 production Enviro100EVs entering service withStagecoach West Scotland inAyr andKilmarnock in October 2024.[6] Eight were delivered toStagecoach East Scotland by the end of 2024,[7][8] while a further ten Enviro100EVs are to be delivered toStagecoach South West during 2025 for use inExeter andTorbay.[9]
In London, 24 Enviro100EVs were ordered byStagecoach London in July 2024 for delivery during 2025, these being the first Enviro100EVs to be sold to a TfL bus contractor.[10] These were followed in October 2024 with an order for 32 Enviro100EVs for delivery toGo-Ahead London'sOrpington depot for service on routes233, R1, R3, R4 and R8.[11] Four are also on order for an unspecified operator onTransport for Greater Manchester'sBee Network bus services.[12]
The first independent operator to order an Enviro100EV was Shuttle Buses ofKilwinning, who took delivery of a single example in December 2024.[13] A demonstrator Enviro100EV was also evaluated without carrying passengers onGuernsey in April 2024.[14]
TheEnviro100AEV is anSAE Level 4autonomous variant of the standard Enviro100EV equipped with Fusion Processing's CAVStar Automated Drive System, which was first developed on the largerAlexander Dennis Enviro200AV conventional diesel bus. The first Enviro100AEV was ordered by Stagecoach East Scotland for service on CAVForth2, an extension of the originalCAVForth scheme operated by five Enviro200AVs towardsDunfermline city centre via theForth Road Bridge.[15][16][needs update] The first of three Enviro100AEVs were delivered on lease to theGreater Cambridge Partnership in early 2025 for trial service on theCambridge Connector network later in the year; these buses were originally intended to be operated byStagecoach East until the Stagecoach Group withdrew support for the Cambridge Connector trial,[17] eventually being reallocated toAscendal Group-ownedWhippet of Cambridge.[18]
Four Alexander Dennis Enviro100EV battery-electric small buses are also on order along with 162 Wrightbus StreetDecks across procurement by both TfGM and franchise operators.
