Adelaide Metro Scania K230EB & Dyson BYD BC12B1 1394 Volgren Optimus
Seen at Volgren's Dandenong factory in October 2025 was this pair of Optimus bodied Scania K230EB electric buses, nearly ready to head to Adelaide. Alongside is an electric bus for Dysons, 1394 (BS15AZ) but this is on a BYD BC12B1 chassis.

Adelaide Metro Foton FTH12 Hydrogen City Bus 1788 & 1789
The previous year a pair of Foton FTH12 Hydrogen City Buses, 1788 (XS97HB) and 1789 (XS98HB) were delivered. They are see at Morphetville depot in January 2026, noticeably not in service.

Adelaide Metro Foton FTH12 Hydrogen City Bus 1788, 1789, Scania K230EB Volgren Optimus 5807 & 5804
Behind the Fotons were several of the new Scania K230EB electrics at the newly installed charging stations with 5807 (XS52KR) and 5804 (XS50KR) to the fore.

Adelaide Metro Scania K230EB Volgren Optimus 5808 & 5804
Hiding behind 5804, and facing the other way, was 5808 (XS13KR).
Picture ref D9910
 
Adelaide Metro Scania K230EB Volgren Optimus 5805
Here is 5805 (XS39KQ). Obviously the electric buses are an innovation, but the infrastructure round the charging stations seems very ad hoc with the red barriers and other paraphenalia dotted around. Doubtless the pair of buses seen at Dandenong in October could be amongst these new Morphetville residents.

Adelaide Metro Scania C250EB Volgren Optimus
Back at the Dandenong factory in February the following year, several more Scania electrics were in build, this one nearly ready for despatch.
