Ofcuz strong ! 13 litre engine leh , so far the largest engine in terms of capacity to be fitted on a city bus in SG .Originally posted by tintinspartan:Most common service to find Hinos are 925. 927 has one. Well, hinos have a strong ZF Hino Engine and the suspension is rated stiff and the seats are non-fabric, so the seats aren't that dusty.Recomended taking it on service 925.
There are pros and cons...the cons is that when you reach the carpark at Kranji reservoir, with N Parks not maintaining the car park well enough (and possibly because of the rise in metal prices), you get trenches instead of drains covered by metal covers. A Hino with its stiff suspension would almost immediately pass the momentum to the passenger. A Nissan would probably be the best thing to travel on these roads (though it would bounce a lot)Originally posted by tintinspartan:Most common service to find Hinos are 925. 927 has one.

Today was the first time I took Nissan after a few months! OMG! 376Z was bouncing even on smooth roads! Like AYE! The bus couldn't remain stable at all! And some more the bounces are very hard, like sudden jerks. You whole rubcage feels painful because of the sharp movements!Originally posted by Scania:A Nissan would probably be the best thing to travel on these roads (though it would bounce a lot)

They were also the first buses to run on Express 521 (now part of 963).Originally posted by TIB1018B:Hino volgren buses were the first "smiley" buses introduced by Tibs in 1999. Still remembered that service 961 was the 1st to have such buses, after which it was redeployed over to service 188 when Tibs took over this bus service from SBS.
Yes! The reason why Tibs decided to stop at the 16th Hino.Originally posted by carbikebus:Many SLs says that Hino performance are good but the brake sucks big time.You will experience hard brake/jerking if the SL aren't skill enough
Hino has quite a poor suspension.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Yes! The reason why Tibs decided to stop at the 16th Hino.
Yup, TIB950R. This bus was initially under WLDEP for the purpose of introducing a new smiley bus on a new express service 521 (now service 963). The rest of the smiley Hinos were under KJDEP. TIB950R was eventually transferred to KJDEP too after a period of time.Originally posted by Scania:They were also the first buses to run on Express 521 (now part of 963).
So far only got 12 Hinos in allOriginally posted by ^tamago^:Yes! The reason why Tibs decided to stop at the 16th Hino.
Maybe chassis made by Dennis , engine by Hino ?Originally posted by stooper:By the way, what does
3. TIB947B, TIB948Z, TIB950R are manufactured by Dennis.
4. TIB949X, TIB951M - TIB957Y are manufactured by Hino.

Whoever edited the Hino page on sgwiki, please own up. ALL of the Hinos are manufactured by Hino. Dennis does NOT produce Hinos on behalf of Hino and vice versa. Don't copy wholesale from LTA page without thinking. LTA page have mistakes, like wrong VIN, wrong Manufacturer (like TIB427K as a Margius Deutz instead of Mercedes Benz). Possibly someone at TIBS mixed up the previous batch of buses and this batch of Hinos or some of the PA Lances were originally meant for these regos.
