Alexander Dennis has announced the delivery of two new Enviro200 midibuses to Bedfordshire-based independent operator Grant Palmer Limited.
With this latest delivery; Grant Palmer has now completed purchase of 20 Alexander Dennis Enviro200 buses in the last 11 years – operating a total of 31 of the vehicles, making up three quarters of its entire fleet.
The new vehicles will soon enter operation across the operator’s network of scheduled bus services. They measure in at 8.9 metres in length, are capable of carrying up to 30 seated passengers, and have been manufactured entirely in Britain.
Each bus utilises SmartPack efficiency technology; which was developed in-house by the manufacturer and aims to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions. Certified as low-emission buses, this qualifies Grant Palmer for Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) incentive payments.
Managing Director Grant Palmer said:We’re delighted to continue our consistent investment in better buses for our Bedfordshire customers with the arrival of this latest pair of Enviro200. We keep coming back for more Alexander Dennis buses as they’re the best in class for efficiency and suitability for rural operations. We’ve been very pleased with the fuel economy – especially given the current price of diesel!
