Introduced in 2003 as an intended replacement for the Dennis Dart SLF chassis and Alexander ALX200 and Plaxton Pointer 2 bodies the TransBus Enviro200 was positioned in between a minibus and a rigid single-decker bus. However, the type only became popular following the introduction of the second generation Enviro200 (originally referred to as the Enviro200 Dart) in 2006. Since then over 6,000 Enviro200s have been built. In 2014 a third generation version of the Enviro200 was launched, known as the Enviro200 MMC, replacing the original Enviro200 and Enviro300.
