Alexander Dennis, a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., one of the world’s leading independent global bus manufacturers, recently announced that it has delivered a new Enviro400 double deck bus to English operator Roberts Travel Group.

The new vehicle offers high capacity for the family-run business, which provides corporate, education and private hire as well as home-to-school transport from its base in Leicestershire alongside a touring holiday programme and scheduled park & ride services.

The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 has a generous 2+2 seating arrangement that increases leg and shoulder room for up to 85 seated passengers, 51 of them in the upper saloon.

Its quick boarding and ability to carry larger groups lend themselves to event and staff transport alongside school work. It has three-point belts at all seats and is wheelchair accessible through its main access doors.

Alex Niemczyk, Managing Director for Roberts Travel Group, said: “We pride ourselves in offering our customers a choice of transport solutions and the Alexander Dennis Enviro400 offers us great capacity where it is needed, without compromising on safety or style.”

Simon Wood, Regional Sales Manager for Alexander Dennis, added: “We would like to thank Roberts Travel Group for this repeat order. Our new 85-seat Enviro400 double decker will join two other buses of the type that have been very successful fleet additions, providing great value for money thanks to their easy-to-maintain bus technology.”

The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 is Britain’s favourite double-deck bus.

Designed by the industry for the industry, the Enviro400’s lightweight design makes it highly fuel efficient and cost-effective to run.

It is accredited as a Low Emission Bus when fitted with the SmartPack efficiency technology, developed in-house by Alexander Dennis.

The Enviro400 can be tailored to your individual operating requirements through a choice of body designs, seating layouts and a wide range of passenger amenities.

Our Enviro400 stock is built to the 11.5m version which combines capacity and comfort to help you win profitable business in private hires, corporate work and school contracts.
