SBS 549K uses a Dennis engine instead of a Merc engine? There's even a Dennis logo on the rear engine cover.

wow .Originally posted by samtlk:SBS 549K uses a Dennis engine instead of a Merc engine? There's even a Dennis logo on the rear engine cover.
then they might as well strip of the merc logo at the front of the bus -
Erm.. the entire chassis is still Mercedes...Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:wow .

But in the first place, I don't believe Dennis manufactures engine?

I do not believe that 549K has a Dennis engine. It sounded like all other Voith Mercs.Originally posted by samtlk:SBS 549K uses a Dennis engine instead of a Merc engine? There's even a Dennis logo on the rear engine cover.
Dennis do not produce engines now (and in the past 10 years).
549K has a Voith gearbox, so it sounds different.
Dennis logo? Sure?
If you did see a Dennis logo this is one explanation for the Dennis logo, Duple Metsec was under the Mayflower group, which Dennis was also under. then it was part of Transbus international, now it is Alexander Dennis. So basically all WA and DM parts come from Alexander Dennis now. -
Yeah, in the previous page of this thread, I mentioned 1780B has a Transbus window!Originally posted by Scania:If you did see a Dennis logo this is one explanation for the Dennis logo, Duple Metsec was under the Mayflower group, which Dennis was also under. then it was part of Transbus international, now it is Alexander Dennis.

I see DM handgrabs in Batch3 VO3x though... Are they the original handgrabs or have they been replaced before?
And BTW, is the Dennis logo on 549K's rear engine cover at the bottom right hand corner? Like where the old Duple Metsec badge was? -
I believe Dennis uses Cummins engines, instead of manufacturing engines themselves. Thus the name, Dennis Specialist Vehicles, instead of Dennis Motors Co.Originally posted by stooper:Erm.. the entire chassis is still Mercedes...

SBS3607G Of S403 had the svs stix just like HGDEP and the steering wheels had silver Scania logo instead of usual black

I doubt so.........but of course, I merely doubt.Originally posted by samtlk:SBS 549K uses a Dennis engine instead of a Merc engine? There's even a Dennis logo on the rear engine cover.

This is just as good as saying TIB700X has a Mercedes engine because it has a Mercedes badge. We know for sure that is not true. Dennis don't make their own engines anymore. Dennis buses usually use Cummins engines.Originally posted by samtlk:SBS 549K uses a Dennis engine instead of a Merc engine? There's even a Dennis logo on the rear engine cover. -
... that while I read through the postings here I found that a considerable number of people do not know much about technical stuffs on the buses. So may read up on some paper material and assumed the rest.
Others can assume the entire thing based on nothing. In engineering, there is only black and white. Everything must be supported with facts & stats. No such thing as I think... I thought... because to an engineering personnel, sometimes it could mean lives. My passengers pay good bus fares, I must do my part to ensure no one gets injured in the process of the transaction. That's why I am extremely particular on engineering facts. eg. which gear is the gearbox in, I can only answer it with a diagnostic tool plugged into the ECU. Not even my chief mechanic can tell you which gear is it by merely listening from behind.
That's I may appear very harsh on certain issues. Because I need to pull back the mainstream from being misled.
And it is very wrong to in order to have the last say, twist and turn around the words & even to the extend of leading the public further away or confusing them from the truth with lies in a bid to save face. No matter who that person is, it's no excuse.
Assumptions are causing the mass to shift in the wrong direction. It is only right to base on facts taken from reliable sources.
Next is do not stomp or post online anything you see. Because by doing that, you do not understand that sometimes pictures tells a thousand words. People could be led to jump into wrong conclusions based on merely pictures that they see. Seeing may not necessary mean believing. Be fair to the commuters, also be fair to the service providers. When we respect each other, you will find that your money gets back more.
Also when making feedbacks, it is good to be focused. Do not beat around the bush and do not link the complain to fare hikes, PAP, government, tax payers etc. Aim at the process of the incident & do not make unnecessary comments. Because you may be wrong. And if the person meting out the punishment did not scrutinise the incident thoroughly, the wrong person may be given the wrong treatment. Even if it is a positive feedback, keep straight to the point and focused.
I hope that everyone can enjoy interacting positively with the public transport industry and in time to come when opportunity arise, join the industry and do your part to serve the public with your passion and knowledge. -
There's one Pasir Ris BC always greet pax with Hello Chinaman/Boy

SBS2789X from Svc 43 has an ad that has a big piece missing at the rear.
Kind of reminded me of the Power98 ad on TIB637X which has the whole back portion missing.

I see no diff in the handgrabs on WA and DM bodied B10Ms. -

That one only found on DM3500s and VO3X batch III. Earlier bus models use the round ones.Originally posted by carbikebus:You go and take a few S17 Scanias and you tell me whether it's triangular DM or not ok?
