600 electric London buses recalled amid fire risks linked to heating systems onboard​

There are almost 2,000 of these buses across the UK, including 600 in London.


600 electric London buses have been recalled by a safety watchdog due to a critical fire risk identified in the vehicles' air conditioning and heating systems.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has warned operators who use the Alexander Dennis Enviro200 and Enviro400 single and double decker buses of the critical safety issue. It means that vehicles could catch fire if left unattended.

There are almost 2,000 of these buses across the UK, including 600 in London.

All of the affected vehicles were manufactured between May 3, 2019 and February 6, 2024. They all contain batteries supplied by Chinese firm BYD.

A spokesperson for Alexander Dennis told LondonWorld: “Following an incident earlier this year, Alexander Dennis, BYD and other relevant parties have identified that there is a potential issue relating to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system supplied by Hispacold for some BYD–Alexander Dennis electric buses.

“The investigation is still ongoing and the root cause has not yet been identified. As the safety of our customers’ team members, bus drivers and passengers is of the utmost importance to us, a safety bulletin has been issued to all affected operators with temporary precautionary measures to ensure the highest levels of safety are met.
“Further updates will be provided to operators on conclusion of the investigation by Alexander Dennis, BYD and impacted suppliers, in consultation with the DVSA, when we expect to provide a permanent fix to resolve the issue.
“As far as is currently known, the issue does not directly affect core driveline components such as electric motors or traction batteries. Neither is there currently any suggestion that the issue is linked to other bus fires that recently received media attention as these involved different vehicle types and technologies.”
