Alexander Dennis announced that it has delivered four new Enviro200 low-emission buses to English operator Squarepeg Buses. The new Enviro200 will boost local bus routes provided in partnership with West Yorkshire transport authority Metro in Leeds. The purchase is the single largest investment in new vehicles that the Yorkshire company has undertaken to date.
Simon Daymond, who set up Squarepeg Buses in 2011 and continues to manage the business, explained: “We now have over 35 of these versatile Enviro200 in use. Most of them saw initial service with other companies but the positive experience with an Enviro200 which we bought new from Alexander Dennis in 2018 as well as the excellent AD24 spare parts service encouraged us to return for more.” Fitted with the manufacturer’s SmartPack efficiency technology which
reduces emissions and increases fuel economy, the four Enviro200 buses will keep down running costs for the operator. Dave Sellars, Sales Support Manager for Alexander Dennis, added: “This is a huge investment for a small company that we have been supporting for many years and we are honoured by the trust Simon and his team have once again placed in us. It’s great to see the improvement these new low-emission buses will deliver for passengers in Leeds.”
