Do the Tridents use vertically or transversely mounted engines? I understand that the LO3X has a Cummins L-series transverse one.
A side note, is the Transbus Javelin tour coach still in production? I saw a few of them deployed in Malaysia.
Tridents used a vertically and a transversely mounted engine. How? Vertical means that the engine is in an upright position. Transverse means that the engine is mounted perpendicular to the chassis.
The Javelin chassis is no longer in production. There are some operators in Malaysia, such as Triton, which use the Dennis Javelin. Be forewarned that not all buses badged as Dennis are really Dennis. I've seen a number of 'fake' Dennis buses.
