"The proposal outlines the conversion of the Larbert facility into a chassis manufacturing site supporting the company's low- and zero-emission bus portfolio, while the Falkirk facility would be closed in line with previously stated plans."
"Under the new proposal, approximately 200 jobs previously identified as at risk would be safeguarded, with around 350 roles retained in Scotland, although up to 115 roles remain subject to potential redundancy."
"The UK bus manufacturing sector recorded a shift in procurement patterns in 2025, with 51% of zero-emission buses purchased in the country sourced from overseas manufacturers, an increase of 25 percentage points from 2024."
Alexander Dennis has launched a consultation on a revised manufacturing strategy that will close its Falkirk site and convert the Larbert facility into a chassis manufacturing site for low- and zero-emission buses. Approximately 200 jobs will be safeguarded, with around 350 roles retained in Scotland, although up to 115 roles may face redundancy. The Larbert site will also have the capability to reintroduce bus body manufacturing in the future. The UK bus manufacturing sector has seen a significant increase in the procurement of zero-emission buses from overseas manufacturers.
