NZ ADL-BYD E-BUSES AMASS ONE<br />
MILLION ZERO-EMISSION KMS<br />
NEW FLYER subsidiary Alexander<br />
Dennis’ New Zealand-running<br />
electric buses – using BYD e-chassis<br />
– have completed more than one<br />
million kilometres of zero-emission<br />
operation, saving 1,000 tonnes of<br />
CO2 emissions in doing so, ADL<br />
confirms recently.<br />
The manufacturer has supplied<br />
18 ADL-BYD based Enviro200EV<br />
electric buses to transport<br />
authorities and operators in New<br />
Zealand to date, with more on order<br />
as the country prepares to fully<br />
decarbonise its public transport<br />
bus fleet by 2035, it states.<br />
The biggest carbon reduction<br />
has been achieved by the fleet of<br />
initially six, later eight, electric buses<br />
operated by Fullers360 on Auckland<br />
Transport services in Waiheke Island,<br />
which have prevented the emission<br />
of 300 tonnes of CO2 in just eight<br />
months, ADL confirms.<br />
NZ Bus saved 290 tonnes with<br />
five buses in Tauranga and Ritchies<br />
270 tonnes with three buses in<br />
Christchurch, while the two trial<br />
buses that Auckland Transport has<br />
been using in the central business<br />
district have cut out 140 tonnes of<br />
CO2 emissions since their launch in<br />
2018, the company explains.<br />
ADL recently announced it will<br />
assemble zero-emission buses<br />
locally in NZ, renewing a partnership<br />
with local manufacturer Kiwi Bus<br />
Builders, it confirms.<br />
The company’s electric buses<br />
for New Zealand are part of the<br />
BYD-chassis Enviro200EV-bodied<br />
range using latest BYD iron<br />
phosphate battery and driveline<br />
technology, ADL states.<br />
ADL general manager for New<br />
Zealand, Tony Moore, said: “Although<br />
our fleet of electric buses is small<br />
by international standards, as we<br />

Day it is heartening to see their<br />
contribution to tackling the global<br />
challenge of climate change.<br />
“Their continued impact will be<br />
further amplified as we deliver more<br />
and more electric buses.”<br />
