Alexander Dennis’s AD24 targets the refurbishment market for ageing fleets

Alexander Dennis announced that it is preparing AD24, its aftermarket service, for an increase in vehicle refurbishments through its workshops as operators lengthen the life of their fleets. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the unprecedented, extended period of inactivity of vehicles allows some companies to extend the life of a vehicle.

Ian Wallace, customer service director at Alexander Dennis, said: “Thanks to our specialized team of technicians, who are the most highly skilled in the industry, AD24 can refurbish, repair and convert any make and model of bus or coach. We’re not limited to only Alexander Dennis vehicles.”
