Go-Ahead London said the vehicles are the first electric buses to enter service from the operator’s new Sydenham Garage, which opened in September 2025. The depot has now become the company’s 14th site operating battery-electric buses.The Enviro100EV is an 8.5-metre electric midibus designed for operation on congested urban routes and narrow streets. In the TfL configuration, the vehicle offers 21 seats and additional capacity for 24 standing passengers while maintaining compact exterior dimensions of 2.35 metres in width.Alexander Dennis equips the model with the Driventic VEDS electric driveline and a 354 kWh battery pack. According to the manufacturer, the battery system delivers sufficient range for intensive urban operation on a single charge. The company also states that the original battery pack is designed to cover two consecutive seven-year operating contracts without replacement under a 15-year battery warranty.“Route 322 serves some of the busiest and most densely connected parts of south London, and these 13 Enviro100EV buses will deliver a genuinely better experience for the thousands of customers who rely on it every day,” said Andy Edwards, Managing Director of Go-Ahead London. “Having recently hit the milestone of 1,000 zero-emission buses in London, we’re looking forward to working in close partnership with Alexander Dennis to accelerate that transition further.”He also reiterated the operator’s broader decarbonisation plans: “Alongside the Mayor and Transport for London, we are committed to converting the capital’s bus fleet to zero emission, as part of our wider Group goal of a fully zero-emission fleet across Go-Ahead by 2035.”“We are thrilled to see more Enviro100EV land on the streets of London, especially on this important route between Crystal Palace and Clapham Common, operating from the new Sydenham depot,” said Mark Ballam, National Account Manager at Alexander Dennis. “With its deceptive size, ‘big bus’ feel and cutting-edge technology, the Enviro100EV is one of the greenest, most efficient buses on the market, and it’s fantastic to see them finding their place in Go-Ahead London’s operations.”alexander-dennis.com
