🐝 This weekend, Greater Manchester saw the transition of bus services to the franchised #BeeNetwork completed with the launch in Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and the remaining parts of Manchester and Salford. 👏 Congratulations to the teams at Transport for Greater Manchester as well as the franchised and outgoing operators for successfully executing a huge and complex mobilisation to enable services and fleets to change overnight! 🚌 We're proud to be playing our part by supplying the lion's share of new buses for the Bee Network, with nearly 500 new Alexander Dennis low and zero-emission buses built for Transport for Greater Manchester and network operators so far. #LeadingtheZEvolution

🎉 Happy New Year! We're really looking forward to 2025 and all that it will bring, including the next-generation Enviro200EV electric single decker which will launch this year to further enhance our zero-emission bus range for the United Kingdom and international markets. ⚡ Available in lengths from 9.9m to 11.7m, seating up to 43 passengers and promising best-in-class performance thanks to its advanced driveline and battery set-up, the Enviro200EV is a true all-rounder for sustainable bus fleets. 🗣️ Our Head of Concepts & Advanced Engineering, Jamie Wilson, recently sat down with routeone Magazine to discuss the thinking behind the Enviro200EV and what it will deliver for your operations: https://lnkd.in/ewHJWg_q #LeadingtheZEvolution

⚡Last week some of our team toured around London with our Enviro400EV demonstrator. Whilst being displayed at operators sites and trialled on routes, we asked their teams what their initial thoughts were of the vehicle. We wanted to share some of the feedback we picked up on our London tour! Here are some of the comments that were made - "Class leading high voltage cabling on the underside of the bus." "A fantastic bus, very smooth on take-off." "The dashboard is simple and easy to use." "Breaking and steering are very responsive and makes it a smoother drive." "Comfortable cab design." "Nice styling of the bus." Thank you to all the operators that took the time to come out and view the Enviro400EV, we really appreciate the insightful feedback provided. #LeadingtheZEvolution

⚡ Britain’s best bus is becoming Britain’s best zero-emission bus: the next-generation Enviro200EV all-rounder. Features of the Enviro200EV include: 🚌 Scalable platform across midi and full-size single deck lengths 👪 High number of seats and high total passenger capacity for its length 🔋Lower height and lighter vehicle structure reduces mass by 1,800kg vs. heavyweight single deckers, requiring less energy to move The next-generation Enviro200EV will be another great bus that is the perfect fit for operators both here in the UK and internationally. #LeadingtheZEvolution

👏 A big thank you to WMP Creative for designing and delivering our incredible 'double decker' stand for the EURO BUS EXPO 2024.
Head of Events | Delivering experiences that engage. Moving and inspiring people and create impressions that last: wmpcreative.com/events
It's been a busy but brilliant last few weeks - kicking off at the start of November where we helped Alexander Dennis bring their Enviro400EV and Enviro100EV “big small bus” to EURO BUS EXPO 2024. Our 'double decker' stand, featuring a discovery theatre, meeting rooms and expert stations on route modelling, accommodated not just one but two zero emission buses! 🚌 🚌. This was a culmination of a huge amount of pre-production planning; from initial concept creation right through to the final delivery and management of the stand during the event. As always - there are a huge amount of thanks to be given: Our lovely clients at Alexander Dennis, always pushing us to deliver on our company mantra - Creative Excellence. Thank you so much for being so great to work with Marina Matosevic, Stacy Hendry, and Debbie McCreath. The amazing team at WMP Creative - led on this project by Sam Blackmore and expertly supported by Emily Goode, Elizabeth Brown, Ashley Sharpe, Hannah Kendall & Ian Fogden. We also couldn't do what we do without our incredible suppliers - special shout outs to Russell Brown, Showblock, Perception Live, Rocket Graphics Ltd. Thank you and we can't wait for 2025 Alexander Dennis. #event #exhibition #eventproduction #creative #agency

❄️ Every winter, the Falkirk Round Table raises money for local charities by touring housing estates and attending events in the area with a Santa Sleigh – built all the way back in 2007 by Alexander Dennis volunteers. Since then, almost £250,000 has been collected to directly benefit local charities. We have continued to maintain the original sleigh, but with its increasing age it was decided that a new one was needed. Working with local suppliers, volunteers from our operations team have been able to design and build a new sleigh this year! Take a look at our video to see how it all happened!
