The Alexander Dennis Enviro200EV is a battery electric single-deck bus produced by the British bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis in partnership with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD Auto since 2015. An electric variant of the diesel integral Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC, which had been launched that same year to replace the outgoing Enviro200 and Enviro300, the Enviro200EV utilises BYD's own 12 m (39 ft 4 in) chassis and drivetrain and has a range of up to 160 miles with a recharge time of 3.5 hours.[3][4] A shorter 10.8 m (35 ft 5 in) variant was subsequently added to the range in 2016.[5]
The lithium iron phosphate batteries of the Enviro200EV are stored on the roof of the bus. From the beginning of production, the battery store was arranged in a 'pod' layout, which was replaced in 2020 by a revised and more aerodynamic arrangement that removed the need for the 'pod'.[6]
A second-generation Enviro200EV, using "in-house" battery-electric technology and featuring a restyled exterior and driver's cab similar to the Enviro100EV, is in development and is expected to be launched by Alexander Dennis in 2025.[7] The first major pre-production order for the second-generation Enviro200EV was placed by the Stagecoach Group, with 54 Enviro200EVs intended for Stagecoach subsidiaries receiving central government funding from the Zero-Emission Regional Bus Areas (ZEBRA2) scheme due for delivery between 2025 and 2026.[8]
