This week saw the biennial Euro Bus Expo at the NEC in Birmingham. A newcomer amongst the many exhibits was a new London red doubledecker from Chinese manufacturer Zhongtong. Zhongtong is known, mostly for coaches in Australia and New Zealand. A full size coach from the company shared the stand with the decker. Though in London red, the ZT-N11D decker did not appear to be to the current London specification, though doubtless it could easily be adapted if ordered in quantity. As an example, a quirky sideways facing seat was sandwiched between the staircase and offside wheelchair space. Of course it was not the only electric bus on display. Wrights had two Electroliners, one for First being a converted former diesel; two BYD deckers, one to London spec and one not; a revised Yutong U11DD for Nottingham; two Custom Denning Elements from Australia and one of the Enviro200EV entering service with Falcon was on the Alexander Dennis stand with a stunning Enviro400MMC marking Weardale's centenary. Minibus conversions dominated the Expo, the vast majority based on Mercedes and some of these were electric powered.
