The Alexander Dennis Enviro200 (previously known as TransBus Enviro200) is a single decker low-floor midibus. It was built by Alexander Dennis from 2003 to 2018, It was first built by TransBus International until the company was sold to Alexander Dennis.
First generation (2003–2007)[change | change source]
The first generation TransBus Enviro200 was launched in 2003.
In 2004, Alexander Dennis made a hybrid model called Enviro200H, It went on trials in London; the uncommon engine and door layout,[1] and collapse of TransBus International in 2004, led to the Enviro200H being stopped.
