Go-Ahead London Adds Electric Midibuses
Why this is here: The Enviro100EV midibus is only 2.35 metres wide, allowing it to navigate congested urban routes and narrow streets.
Go-Ahead London began operating 13 Enviro100EV electric buses on routes in London, England. The new buses serve the Route 322 line connecting Crystal Palace and Clapham Common. These vehicles are part of a larger plan to add 60 Enviro100EVs to the Go-Ahead London fleet.
The Enviro100EV is an 8.5-metre midibus. It carries 21 seated passengers and space for 24 standing passengers.
Alexander Dennis equipped the buses with a 354 kWh battery. The company claims the battery should last through two seven-year operating contracts.
Go-Ahead London now operates battery-electric buses from 14 sites. The company aims for a fully zero-emission fleet across all Go-Ahead operations by 2035. However, the long-term performance of the batteries in real-world conditions remains to be seen.
