(\u201cNFI\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading independent bus and coach manufacturer and a leader in electric mass mobility solutions, today announced that the BYD UK and Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) electric vehicle partnership, the UK\u2019s leading electric bus producer, has delivered its 500th electric bus. This major milestone comes less than five years after rolling out its first battery-electric bus and will see the 500<sup>th<\/sup> vehicle, a zero-emission Enviro400 double deck bus, join the fleet of the partnership\u2019s original customer, Go-Ahead London.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As the UK\u2019s transition to zero-emission transport continues to accelerate, the BYD ADL partnership has already taken firm orders for the next 500 electric buses for public transit operators. In a testament to the UK\u2019s leadership in zero-emission vehicle adoption, these 500 new vehicles are expected to be delivered over the next 12 months and will bring the partnership\u2019s total deliveries to over 1,000 units.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">BYD is a global leader in batteries, energy management and electric mobility, while ADL is a subsidiary of leading independent global bus manufacturer NFI. BYD and ADL combined their strengths in October 2015 to offer reliable and cost-effective electric buses for operators in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand. The partnership has been a tremendous success, and it continues to strengthen with plans for complete UK builds at ADL\u2019s facilities to start later in 2021.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Go-Ahead London has worked closely with the BYD ADL partnership since its inception, becoming its launch customer in 2016 and continuing to support product development with its operational experience. The very first BYD ADL electric bus \u2013 a BYD ADL Enviro200EV single decker \u2013 joined the handover of the 500th as the manufacturers paid tribute to Go-Ahead London\u2019s crucial role in the deployment of electric buses in the UK. Go-Ahead is now the country\u2019s biggest operator of electric buses, having received nearly half of the 500 BYD ADL electric buses delivered so far.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Paul Soubry, President &amp; Chief Executive Officer of NFI, said: \u201cThe milestone of 500 electric buses delivered is an exciting one, for NFI, for the BYD ADL partnership, and for the UK. It\u2019s very fitting that our 500<sup>th<\/sup> bus be delivered to Go-Ahead, as they are a driving force in the UK\u2019s adoption of zero-emission transit and have been supporting our partnership since the beginning. The world of transportation is changing, and NFI continues to lead the evolution to electrification in the UK and around the world through a focus on delivering the highest quality products and working with industry leading partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">NFI is leading the global electrification of mass mobility, operating in more than 80 cities in four countries that have completed over 40 million electric service miles.

In addition, NFI\u2019s Infrastructure Solutions team, which provides safe and reliable infrastructure services for sustainable mobility projects, has installed over 200 chargers to date.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About NFI <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Leveraging 450 years of combined experience, NFI is leading the electrification of mass mobility around the world.
