Volvo B9TL

Any idea when the B9TL buses will be out on the roads.?

I believe they figured Euro-3 not good enough so likely prefer to wait for a Euro-4 version to exist before taking delivery ??Originally posted by 5454:Any idea when the B9TL buses will be out on the roads.?

erm. we don't have a euro-4 requirement for new diesel vehicles until oct. 1. and so far, MD9 has yet to be released, from what i've sourced.Originally posted by hseochin:I believe they figured Euro-3 not good enough so likely prefer to wait for a Euro-4 version to exist before taking delivery ?? -
Still in bodyworks doing. Haven't finished. Once finished will go for inspection before putting onto the roads. The buses have already arrived.

Hmm, SMRTB needs to really buck up now that SBST is rolling out disabled-friendly buses. Time to bring in the Habit-bodied L94UBs as well as low-floor artics.

Since they allow 2550mm body width buses now, maybe Merc Articulated Buses will do... But as it seems, doesn't look like!Originally posted by ^tamago^:i believe they will take MB O500LE's instead leh... -

Actually, Hong Kong buses introduce wheelchair ramp to low floor buses as far back as in 1999. The B9TLs looks similar to the Wright bodywork in Hong Kong.
