British 2 axles Double Deckers
-
Hi folks,I've used to heard that 2 axles DD like the Trident/B7RLE DD/Scania Omnidekka doesnt have any AC unit but only had air blowers right?Since 2 axles semi decker coaches had AC due to their great horsepower why cant the DDs?If Alex Dennis chose to upgrade their Horsepower on the 2 axles from 260 to 290 is it possible to have AC units?Pls clarify

yes carbikebus. now air-con units can be made compact n fit into a smaller space so are smaller. wonders of technology. but these things still heavy. u r right to say higher horsepower of bus is needed.

Maybe special request for the B9TL loh . Instead of 260bhp , make it 310bhp. Alot for 2axle DD .Originally posted by carbikebus:Hi folks,I've used to heard that 2 axles DD like the Trident/B7RLE DD/Scania Omnidekka doesnt have any AC unit but only had air blowers right?Since 2 axles semi decker coaches had AC due to their great horsepower why cant the DDs?If Alex Dennis chose to upgrade their Horsepower on the 2 axles from 260 to 290 is it possible to have AC units?Pls clarify 
There's even a B12BLE DD if im not wrong . Im not too sure , but if there is , the bus has 340Bhp. -
THat's becos those UK buses are 11m version, not 12m ones.

I know that,But is it possible to fit AC unit?Originally posted by iveco:THat's becos those UK buses are 11m version, not 12m ones. -
possible but you still need to check out the cost installing, modifying the technology,the age of the buses and the revenue of the routes.Originally posted by carbikebus:I know that,But is it possible to fit AC unit? -
To add on, you will need to check out the condition of these buses and the parts needed to refubrish them to A1 condition.
And How Buses will be deployed when these buses are put on non user status . -
erm.
went to UK once.
its like no use for ac since the temperature is usually low.
cold temp + ac = Me (Frozen..) -
I think is the a/c parts getting frozen.Originally posted by QX5216J:erm.

guess dont need an air con but rather a warmerOriginally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:I think is the a/c parts getting frozen. -
In the 1st place, why would they want to go through so much trouble to install an AC unit on a 2axles DD Bus ? When they could simply just get a 12m SD bus. Doesnt it makes more sense when their seating capacity are almost the same.

Maybe they want to squeeze their depot space to allow more buses since 10m DDs have the same capacity as a single 12 m SDOriginally posted by sBs_boy:In the 1st place, why would they want to go through so much trouble to install an AC unit on a 2axles DD Bus ?
