🤯 Alexander Dennis and Volvo #Buses are exploring the EnviroMax, a tram-style electric bus for the #UK market. The feasibility study will assess a new body design on Volvo’s BZL Electric articulated chassis, measuring around 18 metres and offering up to 530kWh of installed energy capacity. The vehicle aims to provide local and combined authorities with a high-capacity, zero-emission rapid transit option, featuring accessible passenger spaces, flexible layouts and lower infrastructure requirements than tram systems. It could also simplify maintenance through shared parts and established Enviro family body construction. The project builds on the companies’ longstanding UK partnership, combining Alexander Dennis’s engineering and manufacturing expertise with experience from sister company New Flyer. Both manufacturers will consult customers and stakeholders on operational needs and vehicle layouts. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexander-dennis_enviromax-enviro400xlb-activity-7518975316623568897-UJqr
