Alexander Dennis has officially launched the innovative Enviro100EV, a compact yet highly efficient zero-emission bus tailored for urban environments in Hong Kong. Known as the “big small bus,” the Enviro100EV offers a unique blend of high passenger capacity and a compact design, making it a game-changer for transport operators with limited space.
A Perfect Fit for Tight Urban Spaces
With a length of just 8.5 meters and a width of 2.35 meters, the Enviro100EV is ideal for navigating narrow streets, making it the go-to choice for shuttle services in private residential areas, corporate settings, and educational institutions. Its compact size also makes it a perfect fit for healthcare facilities, as its low-floor design allows for easy access for wheelchair users through the main passenger door.
Sleek Design, High Efficiency
The Enviro100EV doesn’t just impress with its size—it also boasts a stylish, modern design that reflects a company’s commitment to sustainability. Andy Boulton, Managing Director Asia Pacific at Alexander Dennis, praised the bus for its versatility, saying, “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.”
Built for Durability and Comfort
Engineered as a heavy-duty vehicle, the Enviro100EV is designed to last up to 20 years, offering long-term reliability and performance for operators. The Hong Kong specification of the bus provides ample space, seating up to 28 passengers with a total capacity of 45, ensuring comfort while maximizing efficiency.
This new addition to Alexander Dennis’s lineup is a testament to the company’s 50 years of experience in Hong Kong, ensuring that the bus is not only well-suited to local conditions but also backed by comprehensive customer support.
Powerful, Energy-Efficient Electric Drive
At the heart of the Enviro100EV is the Voith Electrical Drive System, known for its market-leading energy efficiency, which helps keep operating costs low for transport operators. With battery options of 236kWh and 354kWh, the bus offers flexibility to meet varying range requirements. Alexander Dennis goes a step further by providing comprehensive route modeling to ensure optimal operational range and performance based on specific route needs.
