Scottish bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) has announced a range of semi-permanent and permanent solutions for the protection of drivers and passengers, designed to be fitted to new and existing vehicles to reduce the risk of virus transmission.
Chris Waine, UK service director at ADL, said: “The UK’s bus operating industry has shown tremendous resilience and ingenuity over the last months, adding temporary cab partitions and other distancing measures to vehicles overnight.
“As we now settle into a longer period of recovery, ADL has semi-permanent and permanent solutions that can replace initial quick fixes to restore the journey experience as buses and coaches remain clean, safe and ready to go.”
The range of ADL-designed solutions for Alexander Dennis buses includes:
- Universal mounting brackets and plates for hand sanitiser dispensers
- Bus driver contact shields for retrofit to existing Alexander Dennis Enviro200 and Enviro400 buses without cab screens
- Transport for London-approved modifications to fully seal existing drivers’ cabs and provide fully sealed cabs in new vehicles
- Coach driver contact shields, and cab rear partitions where required, for retrofit to existing coaches and installation in new Plaxton Panther, Leopard, Elite, Elitei and Panorama coaches
- Coach passenger separation with retractable roller blinds mounted to existing luggage racking
