Default New electric buses

The Red Arrow BYD / Alexander-Dennis Enviro200EV buses have iron-phosphate batteries at the rear and in the roof pod, which also incorporates the aircon unit. The driveline comprises two 90kW wheel-hub motors and water cooling system plus regenerative braking system.

There are also five BYD double-deck battery buses in (intermittent) use on route 98.
