Alexander Dennis Limited says it has won most of Scottish Green Bus Fund with £4m of the £4.4m of the subsidy going to bus operators preferring ADL hybrid-electric buses.  This will deliver orders worth £12m for the Falkirk-based bus maker.  The firm says operators already have 100 of its hybrid-electric buses in service with 200 due for delivery in 2011.  "In short, our hybrid-electric buses deliver exactly what they promise, ie fuel and CO2 cuts of 30 to 40%," says Colin Robertson, CEO at ADL who says the firm is now Europe's leading supplier of low carbon buses.
