Deputy Mayor of London ‘switches on’ Europe’s largest all electric bus fleet:
London to save 700 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year

The Deputy Mayor of London for Transport, Val Shawcross, last Friday inaugurated Europe’s largest fleet of all electric buses – 51 12m single deckers built in Britain by a partnership between BYD and Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL).

Also on hand in London for the ceremony was Xu Qin, the Mayor of Shenzhen, BYD’s ‘home city’. Shenzhen, a Southern China city of 11 million people, operates what is almost certainly the world’s largest fleet of electric buses.

The 51 new buses in London will be operated by Go-Ahead London from its Waterloo garage, servicing two Transport for London routes - 507 and 521. The order for the BYD ADL Enviro200EV buses follows a three-year trial of two BYD vehicles from the same garage and on the same routes. The trial proved the high reliability and outstanding range of the buses, powered by BYD technology, which demonstrated that they could consistently run a 16-hour shift without a recharge being necessary.

The new buses also benefit from BYD partner ADL’s stylish, lightweight aluminium body, manufactured at ADL’s plant in Falkirk, Scotland. ADL has extensive experience in designing and delivering proven, state-of-the-art, contemporary buses which improve passengers’ on board experience with amenities ranging from USB charging points and ambient lighting to comfortable seating.
