We recently completed the delivery of an Enviro400 to Coach Services. The modern design and high capacity of the Enviro400 will enable them to provide a comfortable experience to its passengers travelling on the increasingly busy routes in and around Thetford. Robert Crawford, Finance Director at Coach Services says: “We like to update our fleet to give it a modern look but also keep up with passenger requirements. The Enviro400 is ideal for us to assist with increased demand for our services, which is why we’re proud to now add this fifth vehicle.” Our Regional Sales Manager, Martin Dunleavy added: “Coach Services has taken a further step forward in modernising their fleet with this new Enviro400 bus. Passengers will appreciate the new journey experience and feel comfortable on routes around the area, while drivers enjoy the familiarity and engineers benefit from easy maintenance and our AD24 support.”

⚡Stagecoach Bus West Scotland has launched the first Enviro100EV buses into service. Representatives from Alexander Dennis joined the celebrations of the first 'big small bus' being delivered to the operator. The purchase of the Enviro100EV has been supported by the Scottish Government's ScotZEB challenge fund. The new electric buses will benefit routes across East, South and North Ayrshire and has boosted the total Stagecoach electric bus fleet to 60 in the area. The Enviro100EV is powered by the Voith Electrical Drive System and a battery system developed for Alexander Dennis by Impact Clean Power Technology. Alexander Dennis President & Managing Director, Paul Davies, said: "This is a really proud moment for the team at Alexander Dennis as the very first Enviro100EV is officially launched in partnership with Stagecoach here in West Scotland., supporting routes across East, South and North Ayrshire. The Enviro100EV is our brand new battery-electric small bus that has been engineered to feel just like a big bus. We've packed a significant amount of power into our 'big small bus' making it the best-in-class by some distance, with its 354kWh of battery capacity and up to 285 miles of range, alongside its future-proof battery system and the next generation of aftermarket support from AD24. We know this fleet of small buses will enjoy a long, productive working life supporting Stagecoach West Scotland towards with their targets for a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035." Speaking at the launch event for the vehicle’s Stagecoach West Scotland Managing Director Fiona Doherty FCILT said: “This launch demonstrates that we are delivering on our commitment to decarbonise our fleet across Ayrshire. These 12 new EV midibuses are an important addition to our service and they will serve communities in Ayr, Irvine and Kilmarnock in particular with zero-emission transport. This £5million investment comes on top of the £15.7million invested in the transition to electric in 2023 making bus travel in Ayrshire one of the greenest forms of transport available.” #LeadingtheZEvolution
