It's a bit of a niche need really and considering they're a worldwide company rather than the likes of Wright who can't sell outside the UK. It just seems a lot of work for next to nothing really.
They'd be better just pushing the B5LH / B8TL imo. The likes of Transdev would've likely been purchasers now rather than leaving them for E400 products and there's enough routes around. You just have to look at the amount of companies purchasing the Evoras lately for work that needs it rather than buying shite like Streetlite's that can't do the work (X4/X4A for example).
Yeah, that makes sense — the demand probably isn’t strong enough to justify the effort when they already have solid platforms like the B5LH and B8TL. Honestly, the market shift toward proven workhorses like those, plus the rise of Evoras, shows where operators are really putting their money.
