Alexander Dennis (ADL) took the wraps off its new-generation, three-axle Enviro500 double deck bus at the Euro Bus Expo, this week.
The company also announced that it had received advance orders for more than 530 of its new bus.
Promising lighter construction and designed to be more fuel efficient than other buses in its range, the new bus was designed with the Asia-Pacific market in mind.
So far, buses have been purchased by Hong Kong operators, including KMB, Long Win Bus and Citybus.
ADL's next generation hybrid bus was also previewed at the Birmingham show, with the company revealing that 150 advance orders have already been placed for the green bus.
Operators will include National Express, Stagecoach, FirstGroup and London United.
"These orders represent a massive vote of confidence in our business and our ability to deliver lighter, more fuel-efficient buses," said Colin Robertson, ADL's chief executive.
