None of this would be possible without the support, vision and investment of Auckland Transport. We are certainly looking forward to working together over the coming years as we work together on providing zero-emissions public transport to the people of T\u0101maki Makaurau.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transdev New Zealand Managing Director, <strong>Greg Pollock<\/strong>, said: \u201cHowick &amp; Eastern by Transdev opted to commission ADL to build our second and third electric buses because the company\u2019s factory is in New Zealand. This was a logical decision for us to make, given Transdev\u2019s commitment to New Zealand, and to expanding our operations here, where we already operate metro rail and bus services in both Auckland and Wellington, as well as a transport on demand trial in Auckland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Richard Drummond<\/strong>, Managing Director of Kiwi Bus Builders, said: \u201cHowick &amp; Eastern\u2019s order underlines our plans to support up to 100 local jobs with the assembly of electric buses in partnership with ADL, as we scale up our production to meet demand from Auckland Transport and elsewhere in New Zealand as the transformation to a zero emissions fleet gets under way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADL\u2019s General Manager for New Zealand, <strong>Tony Moore<\/strong>, said: \u201cWe are delighted to extend our successful relationship with Howick and Eastern to clean electric buses which have been tailored to the requirements of bus operation in this country.
