I think it's previously been commented that Stagecoach enjoy healthy discounts from ADL for their producs. In theory, as the technology evolves and units are produced in quantity, the cost should come down.
I'm sure I read somewhere that for all the Scania engine in these was designed specifically as a gas engine (as opposed to a converted diesel engine), over the whole bus there are only something like 40 unique parts that you wouldn't find on a conventinoal E300.
