The Enviro350H has its powertrain located at the nearside of the rear overhang, similar with the full-low-floor buses in Europe. It can be equipped with BAE Systems' HybriDrive series-hybrid system with a Cummins ISBe engine as generator.
In 2014, Alexander Dennis announced the virtual electric version known as the Enviro350VE, which can be powered by wireless charging in addition to the hybrid power system. However, there were no confirmed orders of this type and it was subsequently replaced by variants of ADL's newer Enviro200 MMC.
