Alexander Dennis has secured an order from
#Dumfries and
#Galloway Council for three Enviro100EV electric buses. The zero-emission vehicles will join the council’s DGC Buses fleet in 2026 and support routes managed by SWestrans. Funded through a £13.8m
#UK Government Levelling Up award, the investment includes wider improvements to active travel, including cycle links, real-time information, and transport hubs. The compact 8.5m Enviro100EVs offer 26 seats, improved accessibility, bike racks, and will be the first of their kind fitted with three-point belts on all forward-facing seats. With 354kWh batteries and Voith’s electric drive system, they offer excellent range for both rural and urban routes. Following successful trials, Alexander Dennis praised the collaborative work with the council and confirmed the buses will be built to meet the specific needs of this part of
#Scotland.
