By the end of next year, no fewer than 19 new double-decker Postbuses will come into service in Eastern Switzerland.

The first two of the new vehicles will come into service soon. They will mainly be used on the Engelburg–St. Gallen–Heiden routes and then subsequently in the Obertoggenburg and the regions of Rorschach and Goldach.

The vehicles ordered for Eastern Switzerland are based on their Enviro500 standard model, but the company has adapted them to PostBus’s needs and Swiss regulations. The first new double-decker was presented to the media in Engelburg (canton St Gallen) on 19 May. During an open day event on 20 May, the local population was able to view the vehicle at the regional PostBus garage.

The new double-decker buses are also equipped with two sets of stairs to the top deck, and they have three doors instead of only two. Both decks have dual display screens and free WiFi. The vehicles are 13 metres long, 4 metres high and meet the strict Euro 6 emission standard. Besides Eastern Switzerland, PostBus uses double-decker buses for regular services and leisure traffic only in Graubünden and in Central Switzerland.

Double-decker buses are well suited for winding roads that are frequently used. Passengers are more comfortable on these routes in double-decker buses than articulated Postbuses as there are many more seats: they offer 78 seats and 55 standing spaces, whereas articulated Postbuses have more standing spaces than seats.

These are the first Postbuses to have been produced in the United Kingdom and the first ever British double-deckers in Switzerland, and are supplied by the company Alexander Dennis, the market leader in this sector.

Between now and the end of 2018, the 19 double-decker Postbuses used in Eastern Switzerland up until now will be replaced gradually by the new vehicles. Although there will no longer be such a vehicle in Central Switzerland by the end of the year, the four in service in Graubünden will be replaced in the next two years by new double-decker buses.

Leading British bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) will present two buses at this year’s Busworld exhibition in Kortrijk. The Enviro200 and Enviro500 models on display illustrate the design and quality of these best-selling lightweight single-deck and double-deck buses. ADL is committed to bringing their benefits to the continental European market.

For the first time, Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) will exhibit its products and services at Europe’s leading bus show, Busworld, held in the Belgian town of Kortrijk on 20th–25th October 2017.

ADL’s presence at Busworld builds on the manufacturer’s recent success in the continental European market, where it secured a launch order for 19 three-axle double-deck buses from Swiss national operator PostAuto. One of these Enviro500 buses will be on display. Drawing on its 100 years’ global experience, ADL has tailored the modular design of the world’s best-selling double-deck bus to the exacting requirements of PostAuto. Stunning in the operator’s iconic yellow livery, the 12.9m long buses have three doors and two staircases and seat 79 passengers in their air-conditioned interior. The Class I registered vehicles are purpose-designed as city and regional buses and have a fully usable lower deck.

Leading British bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) presents two buses at this year’s Busworld exhibition in Kortrijk, where it is exhibiting for the first time.

As part of its sustainable medium and long term growth strategy, ADL made a strategic decision to enter the mainland European market.

Identifying a gap in the market for double deck buses that are designed for city or regional operation rather than derived from coaches, ADL is bringing to Europe its unique worldwide experience in tailoring vehicles to local requirements. Swiss national operator PostAuto became the trailblazer when it ordered 19 Enviro500 three-axle double deck buses, the first of which were delivered this year.

The Enviro500 is represented at Busworld by a customer vehicle for PostAuto of Switzerland. This is the third bus out of PostAuto’s order for 19. The first two have been in service since this summer.

ADL has built buses to different lengths and heights around the world and used its engineering pedigree to develop a vehicle that matched European legal requirements as well as those of the operator, resulting in a vehicle 13 metres long and exactly 4 metres tall.

The bus has three doors and two staircases, with the rear staircase leading directly to the rear set of doors to facilitate quick boarding and alighting. There are 78 seats in the air-conditioned interior.
