Option neither.
Custom Coaches wins hands down for me. -
My favourite is the Volgren body, the design is stunning among all the bodyworks I seen so far. Look at SMRT's volgren Hino, Dennis and Mercedes and SBST's VSO and CNG buses ? They are absolutely beautiful.
-
For me it is both Hispano and Volgren but Volgren is the one as the design is nice and look so modern and new unlike other body work for me but Hispano is also like that. But I still choose Volgren
-
I like Duple - Metsec Body and Volgren Body.
-
For me, I will go for Volgren..

Volgren -
Duple Metsec, Volgren for me. Stunning.... Ah...
-
1st : Volgren
2nd : DM
3rd : WrightBus -
volgren... i luv VSOs...
-
volgren all the way!
i would have chosen WA if not for their failure at providing more legroom in N113s..im 1.82cm tall and i always have a hard time squeezing into those tiny spaces..
-
None of the below.
I want original Mercedes-Benz bodywork, CBU in Mannheim, Germany.
Finished to traditional classic standards ! No different from an S-Class saloon car type. Next best compromise, import CKD & locally assemble or in Malaysia.
Make sure full original specs., except for the non-tropicalised features as per done in their vans & cars sold here.
But if choice only limited to the below, then of course it's Hispano, whether Habit or regular type from them as i find their overall standards very close to original M-B standards which i overall find second to none.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Option 1 : Duple Metsec
Option 2 : Walter-Alexander
Option 3 : Elbo
Option 4 : Volgren
Option 5: Hispano
Option 6: Habit
Option 7: Fujisu (What's the correct spelling? ) <- Nissan Diesel UD buses

Hmm, if you're 1.82CM tall you shouldn't have a problem fitting into the seats. You'd be half the size of my little finger.Originally posted by sErviCe17rOx:volgren all the way!

DM bodies. Particularly that of the mkIII, mkIV dm, not dm3500 though.....
-
It's heytime they must bring in bodies suchs as Berkhof,VanHool,Paxton,Enviro,Wright,Hispano-Orbit,ELC....
-
We did have a Van Hool B10M many years back, didn't we? Anyway, Hispano Orbit is designed more for 3rd-world markets, according to Hispano's official website.Originally posted by carbikebus:It's heytime they must bring in bodies suchs as Berkhof,VanHool,Paxton,Enviro,Wright,Hispano-Orbit,ELC....
For me, I must say I love the Habit bodywork by Hispano. It looks classy.
By the way, does anyone have any info on DM's range of bodyworks other than DM3500 and DM5000? So far I know WA has its Royale, PS, Strider and Setanta product ranges. -
I mean the newest VanHool since it was the only VanHool that SBS brought in that time.Who cares it's 3rd world market since it is far more nicer than current SBST Bus bodies right?Originally posted by iveco:We did have a Van Hool B10M many years back, didn't we?

That Van Hool body, on the early Volvo B10M with seperate air-con engine, definitely is overall better in quality & finish even aesthetics compared to the British bodies, which overall i find inferior to bodies from many bodybuilders in Europe.
I don't recall any squeaks, crackles & rattles from that Van Hool here, which seems an irritating 'standard feature' from the Volgrens, Duple Metsec, Alexander ! The standard on Van Hool closer to Hispano instead, which of course are the better bodies around.Originally posted by carbikebus:I mean the newest VanHool since it was the only VanHool that SBS brought in that time.Who cares it's 3rd world market since it is far more nicer than current SBST Bus bodies right? -

It's Fuji Heavy Industries, the manufacturer for Subaru cars' bodywork. I guess they would design better bodies for cars, rather than buses.
