Alexander Dennis Enviro300

The Alexander Dennis Enviro300, originally the TransBus Enviro300, is a light-weight full-size single-decker bus that was built between 2001 and 2015 by TransBus International and then by Alexander Dennis. It was the first model of the Enviro range and the first integral bus TransBus built, developed from the Alexander ALX300 body to fill a gap in the product range. It was designed solely for the UK market, where few standing passengers are carried, so that operators could save fuel with a lighter bus than its continental rivals. The first generation ran from 2001 to 2008, and a second generation launched in 2007 took on the styling of the Enviro200 and Enviro400, was also offered on MAN, Volvo and Scania chassis, and sold far better. Production ended in 2015 when the long-wheelbase Enviro200 MMC took over.
