An enhanced and extended CAVForth automated bus service

Lead Participant: FUSION PROCESSING LTD

Abstract

This project follows on from the CAVForth project which saw Stagecoach operate a fleet of five 37 seat Alexander Dennis buses that have been fitted with the CAVStar(r) automated drive system developed by Fusion Processing Ltd.

This new project will see the route extend to Dunfermline bus station, and will also include use of a new model Alexander Dennis electric bus.

The project will commence April 3, meaning a seamless continuation of the service between Ferry Toll Park & Ride and Edinburgh Park Station, and will run to March 2025
