Delivering Global Transport Solutions
Innovation with Style
Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) is one of the world’s leading bus and coach builders
with a history and heritage of design, engineering and manufacturing excellence
that spans more than a century.
Innovation with Style is the hallmark
of ADL’s low floor, easy entry buses,
all of which enhance the passenger
experience, maximise operator
benefits and lead the way in terms of
low emissions and future technology.
Every minute of every day ADL buses carry millions
of passengers in towns and cities around the world,
operating in vastly different conditions, ranging from
sub-zero temperatures in Canada to the sweltering
heat of the Arizona desert and the tropical humidity
of Asia Pacific.
Pioneer of both low floor double deck and midi bus
concepts, ADL is the only bus manufacturer in the
world with a comprehensive range of easy-access,
single deck, two-axle and three-axle double decks,
including hybrid options.
They deliver unique transit solutions that enable
operators to ‘win back space’ in congested,
inner-city environments, while also providing ideal
vehicles for inter-urban services.
ADL’s low floor double deck and midi buses form
the backbone of fleets around the world, including
cities such as London, Hong Kong, Auckland,
Wellington, Las Vegas, New York, Seattle, Vancouver
and Ottawa.

In addition, ADL is set to further revolutionise the
transport sector with the introduction of advanced
electric vehicles that will recharge on route, provide
zero-emission transport in crowded inner-city
environments, and be capable of meeting the
gruelling, 18-hour work cycles expected of buses
on a daily basis.
In many territories ADL double decks have boosted
passenger ridership and revenue returns remarkably,
while midi buses have complemented these
high-density services with short, medium-capacity,
highly manoeuvrable vehicles that provide the
perfect solution for off-peak services and feeder
routes.
Multiple Choice
It is also the world’s leading supplier of double deck
hybrid buses, which combine diesel and electric
technology and are achieving fuel and CO2
reductions of circa 30% - without compromising
reliability, durability and availability.

Transforming New Zealand
Bus Services
A Powerful Partnership Backed by
Unrivalled Parts and Service
ADL is a global business that has flourished on
manufacturing partnerships, joint ventures and alliances
around the world. As a result it now has a strong
presence across Asia Pacific, North America and Europe.
in Tauranga, while 400 super low floor ADL Enviro200
midi buses have been introduced to fleets across New
Zealand. They are now the vehicles of choice for
operators seeking highly manoeuvrable, fuel efficient
buses that can carry 37 seated passengers and have
outstanding whole life costs.
Innovation, style and and an element of simplicity,
particularly in terms of maintenance, parts replacement
and repairs, are designed and built into every ADL bus.
They are class-leading in performance and backed by 100
years of history, heritage and sheer know-how in the bus
manufacturing industry.
The net result is a powerful partnership that focuses
on three key issues – operators, passengers and drivers,
and is backed by a team of ADL field engineers who
provide dedicated customer support and have an
unrivalled expertise in sophisticated vehicle diagnostics
and rapid repair procedures.
The ADL midi bus is available at 9.6m and 11.3m, the
former – at <12t GVW – benefiting from reduced road
user charges, and the latter – at <14t GVW – being the
only bus in New Zealand which can take 37 seated
passengers and 18 standees and still meet legislative
requirements.
Backing that philosophy in New Zealand is a partnership
with Kiwi Bus, a long-established vehicle builder that
knows and understands the wants and needs of operators
- from family-run businesses to giant fleet operators –
AND has an in-depth knowledge of the topography and
the challenges that buses face daily in the towns and cities
of New Zealand.
Add to this a strategically located, state-of-the-art parts
warehouse and distribution centre providing next-day
delivery, and it quickly becomes apparent why ADL
vehicles in New Zealand enjoy unparalleled up-time.
Nowhere is there a better example of ADL’s determination
to introduce unique transport solutions and to support
the local economy than in New Zealand. Just five years
ago ADL partnered with Kiwi Bus and set about
transforming the transport landscape with a midi bus
designed and engineered specifically for the home market.
Since then Kiwi Bus has gone from strength to strength,
adding jobs and new skills to its manufacturing operations

buses are now

An Icon That Goes from
Strength to Strength
In the space of five years the ADL Enviro200 has
established itself as an integral part of the transport
system in New Zealand, which is hardly surprising as this
icon of the industry is already one of the most popular
buses in the world. More than 18,000 operate in
continents around the globe, many of which, as in the
case of New Zealand, are playing a vital part in transport
Switching Gear as ADL Prepares
to Raise the Stakes
systems moving to super low floor, lightweight, fuel
efficient vehicles that are not only passenger-friendly
but have much-reduced whole-life costs.
Behind all of this is ADL’s NZ team of skilled service
engineers, whose reach is omnipresent across the
country, backed by sophisticated diagnostic systems,
maintenance, repairs and parts know-how that is
second to none.
Hot on the heels of its success with the Enviro200 midi
bus, ADL is set to raise the stakes with the introduction
of its world famous three-axle double deck bus, the
Enviro500, to the streets of New Zealand.
Like its smaller, iconic sister bus, the Enviro500 has
earned a global reputation as a vehicle that brings a
new dimension to transport services – and, just like the
Enviro200, it has been specially re-engineered for the
local market, introducing a slim-line 2.5m version with
a lower 4.2m height.

consumption and competitive
parts pricing it continues to
exceed my expectations”.

interior options, while still providing seats for up to
93 passengers. As ever, the NZ Enviro500 leads the
way in terms of fuel efficiency, reliability,
