Mr. Stephen King reports

HONG KONG'S MTR CORPORATION ORDERS 35 ENVIRO500EV ELECTRIC DOUBLE-DECK BUSES FROM NFI SUBSIDIARY ALEXANDER DENNIS

NFI Group Inc.'s subsidiary Alexander Dennis Ltd. has been chosen in a competitive tender by Hong Kong's MTR Corp. to supply 35 battery-electric Enviro500EV double-deck buses.

MTR provides Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway urban rail system, including a network of feeder bus services, for which it operates a fleet of 172 buses. Most of them have been supplied by Alexander Dennis from its Enviro200, Enviro400 and Enviro500 vehicle ranges.

MTR's new fleet of zero-emission buses will be delivered throughout 2025 and 2026.

The Enviro500EV has been fully designed in-house by Alexander Dennis's engineering team as part of the manufacturer's next generation of zero-emission buses. The new fleet can substantially reduce the carbon footprint compared with traditional diesel buses, contributing to a greener environment.

Its 472-kilowatt-hour batteries are supplied by Impact Clean Power Technology to a future-proof design that allows for upgrades to benefit from advances in battery technology without structural modifications. Power is transmitted through the heavy-duty Voith electrical drive system, which at 410-kilowatt peak and 310-kilowatt continuous output has ample reserves to cope with Hong Kong's topography.

Andy Boulton, managing director, Asia Pacific, for Alexander Dennis, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen by the MTR Corp. as partner for the transition to zero-emission bus services. Our Enviro500EV has been designed from the ground up for the demands of Hong Kong's world-class transport system, ensuring that this transformational investment in cleaner transport will deliver for the MTR Corp."
