United Kingdom: Alexander Dennis Tests Enviro100EV Bus Model Equipped with Go-Coach
In a significant development, Alexander Dennis, a leading manufacturer of buses, has successfully completed a two-week demonstration of its Enviro100EV 'big small bus' with operator Go-Coach.
The trial, which took place across various routes in the United Kingdom, aimed to assess the efficiency and performance of the zero-emission bus model in real-world conditions. Austin, a representative or test driver involved in the trial, showcased the Enviro100EV to the public, offering valuable insights into its capabilities.
The Enviro100EV, powered by a Voith Electrical Drive System and boasting a battery capacity of 354kWh, proved to be a highly capable performer. It demonstrated an excellent energy consumption of 0.64kWh/km over Go-Coach's routes, indicating its efficiency across diverse routes.
The cab of the Enviro100EV was noted for its spacious feel, despite being slightly narrower than traditional buses. Passengers found the bus comfortable, with easily accessible seats, further enhancing the user experience.
The Enviro100EV was well-received by both drivers and passengers during the trials. Remarkably, drivers transitioned from driving Enviro200 diesels to the Enviro100EV without the need for re-training, indicating its user-friendly design.
The data collected during the trial, using Alexander Dennis's live AD Connect telematics, will help refine the 'big small bus', ensuring it continues to meet the needs of operators and passengers alike. The feedback from the trials with Go-Coach has been invaluable in understanding the real-world performance of the Enviro100EV.
The trial results provide valuable insights into the real-world performance of the Enviro100EV. Its suitability for various routes, including town services and more rural routes, was confirmed during the trial at Go-Coach. The Voith driveline and the entire energy storage and management system of the Enviro100EV were noted for their efficiency during the trial.
The Enviro100EV was used in trials like any other bus in the fleet, further supporting its status as a reliable and effective zero-emission bus model. The bus was able to easily cover a full day's work with energy to spare, demonstrating its practicality for everyday use.
In conclusion, the successful trial of the Enviro100EV with Go-Coach has reinforced its position as a leading zero-emission bus model. Its efficiency, user-friendly design, and versatility across various routes make it an attractive choice for operators looking to transition to more sustainable transport solutions.
