Britain’s leading bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) presents a selection of the market’s widest range of low and zero emission buses, as well as members of its Plaxton coach range, at Euro Bus Expo 2018.

The award-winning SmartPack and SmartHybrid technologies for efficient diesel buses have been developed in-house by ADL. They feature smart management of alternator and air compressor, engine stop-start technology and electrically-driven cooling fans. SmartHybrid adds a 48V mild hybrid system with long-lasting supercapacitor energy storage. Vehicles with both systems are accredited as Low Emission Buses by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, entitling operators to increased BSOG rates.

Another Low Emission Bus option is the biogas-fuelled Enviro400CBG City, which ADL produces together with chassis and technology partner Scania. Shown on the Scania stand, the 100th of these buses demonstrates the green credentials of biogas.

ADL’s successful growth in the independent and retail market sectors has seen the Enviro400 developed into a high-capacity, executive-style vehicle suitable for private hire and corporate work that has found favour with coach as well as bus operators. A new 11.5m demonstrator, shown for the first time at Euro Bus Expo 2018, promotes this versatile option, packed with premium passenger-centric specification.
