Alexander Dennis E100 launches in Hong Kong

Alexander Dennis has launched its next-generation Enviro100EV small zero-emission bus in Hong Kong.

The bus was revealed at the ReThink HK sustainability event in Hong Kong.

It is the first time Alexander Dennis has shown the Enviro100EV in the territory, where it complements the high-capacity Enviro500EV zero-emission double decker.

With a length of 8.5m and width of 2.35m, the low-floor Enviro100EV is designed for operators who run services in narrow streets or are otherwise limited in space. In Hong Kong specification, the compact and manoeuvrable bus offers room for up to 28 seats and a total capacity of 45 passengers.

The Enviro100EV is powered by the medium-duty Voith Electrical Drive System, with a choice of 236kWh and 354kWh batteries. Alexander Dennis can provide route modelling to determine expected operational range and performance.

“The Enviro100EV is a fantastic combination of high passenger capacity with a small vehicle footprint and stylish, modern design” – Andy Boulton, Managing Director Asia Pacific for Alexander Dennis

Andy Boulton, Managing Director Asia Pacific for Alexander Dennis, said: “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.

“This zero-emission bus is ideal for operators with limited space, giving them a durable vehicle with an expected operational life of up to 20 years thanks to its uncompromising design as a heavy-duty vehicle. The Enviro100EV builds on almost 50 years of Alexander Dennis experience in Hong Kong and is fully backed up by our comprehensive customer support.”
