Britský výrobce autobusů Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) zvítězil v soutěži o velkou exportní zakázku na 120 vozidel pro Nový Zéland s malokapacitním modelem Enviro200 s dodáním během následujících 15 měsíců dopravci NZ Bus. Objem zakázky je 25 milionů liber. 120 autobusů bude sestaveno nástavbářem Kiwi Bus ze stavebnic dodaných ADL. Jedná se o dvoudvéřové klimatizované 11.3 m dlouhé autobusy pro 37 sedících a 18 stojících cestujících s šestiválcovým motorem Cummins ISBe Euro V a převodovkou Allison T280R.
ADL vyhrál kontrakt v konkurenci a výrobci z Nového Zélandu, Číny, Austrálie, Brazílie a Evropy.

The 120 buses will be assembled by North Island-based Kiwi Bus Builders from kits suppled by ADL. Kiwi is preparing a new manufacturing facility to handle the order and ADL says that it will aim to progressively increase the proportion of parts sourced locally.
The 120 Enviro200s will be two-door, air-conditioned 11.3m buses capable of carrying 55 passengers (37 seated and 18 standees). They will be powered by Euro 5 Cummins ISBe six-cylinder engines with Allison T280R transmissions.
ADL chief executive Colin Robertson says: “This is much more than just an important contract. It is the start of a significant business relationship that has the potential to see us deliver a further 200 - 300 buses into New Zealand in the next three to four years – and to use the location as a spring-board into other territories, notably Australia.
“Our aim is not simply to supply buses to New Zealand but to become an active player in the country’s manufacturing sector. Just as we have done in North America and Hong Kong, we intend to form local alliances that will create jobs and stimulate the economy.”
ADL won the contract against competition from manufacturers in New Zealand, Australia, China, Brazil and Europe. Bruce Emson, CEO of NZ Bus says that 38 different product options were evaluated during the tender process.
“This is the single biggest investment made by our business since it was acquired by Infratil in 2005,” says Emson. “It also forms part of our long-range vision to create an unrivalled bus transport system that can be the envy of the world.”
NZ Bus is the country’s largest public transport operator and runs more than 1,000 buses in the Auckland and Wellington regions, employing around 2,000 people. The company was formerly owned by Stagecoach until its sale to Intraftil in November 2005 for £100million.
The first batch of Enviro200s for NZ Bus will be operational this summer ahead of the Rugby World Cup that starts in September, with the balance of the order delivered by mid 2012.
