  Wrong, the Sentosa ones are from Blue Star (In Chinese its shang bin leng qi). Cool Air manufactured the aircons of some Mk2 CAC, most Scania CAC, Volvo B10BLE CNG.

  But BN controls majority of the routes that terminate @ NBR.
  
  MRC comes under BMR, I suppose. 195 belongs to ARBP.

  there is NO SUCH WORD as misee.
  MISTAKEN is more suitable.
  
  so, dont comment about other people's english when you just typed out a word which cant be found in dictionaries.

  Wait, iveco referred to the interchange committees for SMRT as route groups. Can I clarify with other sources if SMRT does adopt this title for their interchange management?

  SLBP got one of the earliest Scanias on SV 174... so most likely SLBP and HGDEP would get Scanias first since the Mark IIs are going away... then it would be AMDEP and BRBP for their MB WA O405s, BNDEP for the old Scanias... and maybe the last would be BBDEP and ARBP? Not sure.
