On 11 September, the UK's greenest bus fleet was launched to take to the streets of Edinburgh. The buses, built by Alexander Dennis (ADL) in Falkirk for Lothian Buses are a result of the low carbon initiative, The Scottish Green Bus Fund, introduced by the Scottish Government. The new fleet of 15 double-decker Hybrids produce 15% less greenhouse gas emissions than diesel equivalents.

The new Lothian eco-buses are fitted with BMACs Duo-lux lights. ADL worked with Ring Automotive's sister company BMAC, to ensure all the exterior lights on the hybrid buses were low on power consumption. ADL are the first bus company to install BMAC's Duo-Lux range of 90mm headlamps. Duo-lux is Europe's first E approved range of LED 90mm headlight units.
