Alexander Dennis Enviro400 City Demonstrator (H40/29F) '10.2016

9th November 2016

ADL claimed that this was their biggest ever presence at Euro Bus Expo showing a total of nine vehicles, and there was a lot new to see. In 2016, it has exceeded the achievements of 2015, building 2,750 buses globally and is on course to generate revenue in excess of £600m for the second successive year. These figures include over 1,000 Enviro400s for the UK.

Destined to be a demonstration bus, the Enviro400 City shown heralded the optional new Passenger Plus package which features: SmartConsoles with wireless bell pushes, USB power sockets, dimmable LED lap lights, coat hooks and fold-down tables within seat backs; single seats next to the staircase upstairs; ‘social seating’ around tables with USB power sockets integrated in their surface; a SkyView rear window and three glazed SkyLights; no vertical hand rails in the upper deck; dimmable saloon lighting and LED downlighters; and litter bins on both decks. It makes for a very attractive customer experience but several operators I spoke to questioned the wisdom of the absence of stanchions, fearing additional personal injury claims.
