#Nottingham City #Transport (NCT) and Pelican Bus & Coach have unveiled the next-generation Yutong U11DD electric double-decker at #Euro Bus Expo 2026. The vehicle is the first of 18 ordered by NCT following three years of collaboration with Pelican and manufacturer Yutong.
The redesigned bus features a larger 467kWh battery, up from 422kWh, two wheelchair bays, hearing loops and step-free access to the rear of the lower deck. Other improvements include a revised interior layout, updated seating and flooring, and a wheelchair-height armrest introduced following passenger feedback. Seats also incorporate recycled marine waste.
The changes aim to improve #accessibility, passenger comfort and operational performance. The first of the 18 #buses are expected to enter service on NCT's Red 43/44 routes in early 2027.
