I assume that E006 is now plain old E00.

Quote from: Ingleboro261F on January 10, 2025, 04:56:12 PMApparently from what I heard on discord NX may be considering purchasing Volvo 7900Es, can someone give any info if they're allowed?

Quote from: Tony on January 10, 2025, 05:10:11 PMWhich is strange as Volvo don't even offer the 7900E

Not any more, the 7900E has been replaced by the BZL bodied by MCV?

Have they actually been ordered?

If they haven't, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get any new buses anytime soon.

The additional zebra funding for 130 (30 for sprint) buses that were supposed to be hydrogen bus but I think might have changed

Based on the January 2023 NX announcement of 300, 130 are outstanding in addition to the 124 ZEBRA vehicles. Things may have changed. Graphs in the franchising document show NX are expected to have 600 Zero Emission buses in service in 2027.

Out of interest, the ZEBRA funding was awarded nearly three years ago. Is there a deadline for delivery or risk of withdrawal?
