Alexander Dennis launches next-generation 8.5-meter e-bus Enviro100EV in Hong Kong

Alexander Dennis launched its next-generation Enviro100EV small zero-emission bus at the ReThink HK sustainability event in Hong Kong. It complements the high-capacity Enviro500EV zero-emission double decker (which has a 35-units order already in place) in the territory.

With a length of 8.5m and a width of 2.35m, low floor, the Enviro100EV is ideal for operators who run services in narrow streets or are otherwise limited in space. This makes it headed to the markets of private residential services as well as corporate or education transport and other shuttle duties, Alexander Dennis says.

Up to 45 passengers on the 8.5-meter Enviro100EV

In Hong Kong specification, the bus offers room for up to 28 seats and capacity for up to 45 passengers in total.

The Enviro100EV is powered by the medium-duty Voith Electrical Drive System. Battery capacity can be 236kWh or 354kWh. Alexander Dennis provides comprehensive route modelling to determine expected operational range and performance.

Andy Boulton, Managing Director Asia Pacific for Alexander Dennis, 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.”
