The Alexander Dennis Enviro100EV is a battery electric integral midibus built by British bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis. It is the first midibus produced by the company equipped with Alexander Dennis' own in-house electric drivetrain, complementing the BYD-powered Enviro200EV in the Alexander Dennis product range.[2] The body of the bus is to be assembled in Zhuhai in China, while the chassis of the bus is to be assembled with the body at the Alexander Dennis factory in Scarborough in England.[3][4]

The Enviro100EV was announced as a new model in the Alexander Dennis range on 1 November 2022 at the Euro Bus Expo at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England, with the first production model unveiled a year later on 1 November 2023.[3][4] The bus is primarily marketed at smaller bus operators running bus services in rural areas, although plans have been made to potentially introduce a Transport for London specification Enviro100EV by mid-2024, and an Enviro100EV for international markets was also in development as of November 2023.[5][3][4]
