The Enviro400 are the first ever brand-new double deckers and the first Alexander Dennis double deckers for the family-owned company, which was established in 1979 and provides bus services across North and West Wiltshire and Bath.
Built to a length of 10.9m with 77 seats, they are fitted with Alexander Dennis SmartPack efficiency technology to bring down emissions and improve fuel economy.1 Low-emission bus certification allows Faresaver Buses to benefit from enhanced Bus Service Operator Grant (BSOG) payments.
Passengers will enjoy a high-quality interior with Altro wood-effect flooring and Lazzerini Pratico high-backed seats fitted with USB-A and USB-C charge points. Hanover Displays has supplied destination equipment as well as interior monitors. Information accessibility is further enhanced by the provision of an Ardent induction hearing loop system.
Faresaver Buses managing director Justin Pickford said: “As we continue to invest into our modern fleet to further enhance the travelling experience for our passengers, we are proud to have bought brand-new double deck buses for the first time.
"The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 offers us a great vehicle that combines plenty of comfortable seats with highest standards of accessibility and an economical driveline that further cuts our operating costs with enhanced BSOG eligibility.”
Mark Taylor, regional sales manager for Alexander Dennis, said: “Faresaver Buses’ investment in new double deck buses is a great example of investment by a respected family business providing quality journeys for its customers.
"Alexander Dennis is honoured to have been chosen as the supplier with two of our Enviro400 already in service and another two due to follow. It’s been a pleasure to work with Justin and the Faresaver Buses team and we look forward to continuing the relationship.”
