During the week, Alexander Dennis:
- Unveiled the first Enviro400FCEV next-generation hydrogen double-deck bus, for launch customer Liverpool City Region Combined Authority; the Enviro400FCEV is the first of a new generation of zero-emission buses fully designed and built by Alexander Dennis and backed up with AD24 whole-vehicle aftermarket support;
