Alexander Dennis, a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., a leader in propulsion-agnostic bus and coach mobility solutions, today announced that its customer Rotala has added seven Alexander Dennis Enviro200 buses to its Diamond Bus fleet, marking another significant milestone in providing cleaner, greener and more efficient public transport for the West Midlands community.
The investment underscores Rotala’s dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility while continuing to improve the quality and reliability of its services across a range of local routes.
Over the last couple of years, Rotala has been making substantial investments to modernise its fleet in the Midlands, North West and Preston, with 28 new Alexander Dennis buses delivered to the group this year alone.
