| In
November 2012, Alexander Dennis unveiled
its 'new-generation', three-axle Enviro500 double deck, and
announced advance orders for more than 530. The stylish, new-look
vehicle is lighter, more fuel-efficient and can carry 90 seated
passengers. It has been designed specifically for the Asia Pacific
market and 532 will be delivered to Hong Kong operators such as KMB,
Long Win Bus, Citybus and MTRC during 2013 and early 2014. |
| |
|
| The Citybus order is
for 156
buses, 107 of which will be 12 metre and 49 will be 11.3 metre.
66 of the 12 metre examples are for Cityflyer operations. |

| The first
standard liveried 12-metre 'new generation' Enviro500s were registered
on 24th July and entered service the following day, when the above
shots were taken. They are allocated the same series of fleet numbers
as the previous batches of Enviro500s, the last of which was
8319. |
|
|
|
 |
8320, the first numerically of the
batch, was the prototype built in the UK and was not registered until
30th October 2013.
It is easily identified from the rest of the batch in that it has no
tree guards. It is pictured above on 3rd November. |
