Alexander Dennis Enviro400 Discussion

[Tony]

Have to say this impresses me 100 times more than the Gemini 3, kind of looks like the MCV decker and Levante had some influence imo but I'm just glad it actually looks like a bus, rather than a big plastic box.

Another press release from Alexander dennis

Are there any pictures of the rear yet apart from this one http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dy709qPf7Mk/UvqXB23aHuI/AAAAAAAAAmw/RN7VdxRwIfQ/s1600/1798925_477673805678381_1232847791_o.jpg

It's looks amazing! :D - Although, i'd probably still stick to the current one, For now... Definitely looks WAYYY Better than the Volvo buses, and imo, takes over the NBfL (Borismasters, now, aren't they, not really so new) by a tiny bit! I can't wait to see them on our roads... (That's if NX keeps placing orders with ADL, which I highly suspect might keep happening for the coming years.)

EDIT: Personally, I'd think they'd benefit from producing this as another type of vehicle altogether, like the E300 & E350H. Possibly E450?

There's a good picture of the non London spec model here:

Looks very smart. Although I doubt, unfortunately, that NXWM will go for the bonded glazed version pictured here.

[andrew1991]

not brilliant but I've mocked up an Enviro 200 with the new front.

If the new ADL quick release system of glass replacement is available for bonded glass examples, I'm sure they will jump at the chance.
Glass replacement in 3minutes? They'd be mad not to!

I was wondering if the quick glass replacement system referred to bonded or gasket glazed examples.

If available on bonded glazing then in theory the main reason not to buy it would be gone.

It could be that the new bonded glass exlpains the pictures of the E200 shown in the announcement of the £100m order. The vehicle shown could be the first for NX.

It didn't have a NX interior, the handrails were yellow

And was a short base example. NX's (If they keep the same practice) will be Long Wheelbase

I hope they do switch to Bonded glazing now, it looks much better.

Are there any pictures of the rear yet apart from this one http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dy709qPf7Mk/UvqXB23aHuI/AAAAAAAAAmw/RN7VdxRwIfQ/s1600/1798925_477673805678381_1232847791_o.jpg

There's one of the London type in the pdf file that ADL has. It's of the new Eurp 6 Specs, although, the picture is quite small...

Don't know if pdf links work on here but here it is:

Hopefully the back is gloss black

Love it. Well done ADL. I really hope the 'new' engines/ECU don't suffer the same lag that the current E400 has. Although, I suspect it's NXWM's idea with fuel economy etc. They've nearly eliminated kick-down totally on new XF boxes, the ones most prone to doing it!

Although I'd say again, absolute top work from ADL here.

from looking at the pictures in the brochure, the windows are changed from inside and the seat behind the driver has been removed
