Without rims looks very ugly. I hope they will have those rims like KMB buses.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:I think so. Even their trucks have them too . If its really ALCOA , hope it will have rim guards on. They will certainly look awesome.Cuz its just one bus and some more demonstrator as of now , hope it will at least some specialties.

I agree it is ugly for the side, the bus IMO doesn't look very nice for the front because of the colour scheme. However for HippoTour, the buses are sprayed in dark colours which made the buses look outstanding. Too bad rear engine too high.Originally posted by SBS8043A:dun lyke tis demo...exterior vv ugly...interior lyke b9...dun lyke da colour of poles...seats quite nice...

Just hope that if the B7RLE is successful and SBST continues purchasing them, that they won't be by Soon Chow.Originally posted by ^tamago^:no matter what u say, it is a demonstrator.
Bro, the bodywork was BUILT in Soon Chow IN Singapore.Originally posted by tintinspartan:Is it me or someone else as I saw a silver painted bus being towed along the JB Causeway on the 18th December 2007. Bus looked like a Volgren, except it's headlights looked different. The bus has an EDS and if i'm not wrong, it's from Volvo. Could this mean I saw this SBS8030 even before it got painted into SBST livery?
Bro, its TTs. With the small 's'.Originally posted by Oceane:Just hope that if the B7RLE is successful and SBST continues purchasing them, that they won't be by Soon Chow.
TTS: You probably saw another bus. This bus is by Soon Chow and not Volgren. Besides, there aren't any Soon Chow plants in Malaysia right?
Like that also can...Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Bro, its TTs. With the small 's'.![]()
Anyway, looking forward to see and try this bus.
no soon chow over there but i saw some new bus chassis at Truck Showroom near the Carrefour area in JB.Originally posted by Oceane:TTS: You probably saw another bus. This bus is by Soon Chow and not Volgren. Besides, there aren't any Soon Chow plants in Malaysia right?
Similar front, especially the bottom front below the windscreen. Go see the HippoTour DD with the curve front.Originally posted by QX5216J:no soon chow over there but i saw some new bus chassis at Truck Show near the Carrefour area in JB.
and one is a Volvo, by the look of the rims.. (and they took the chassis out of a little test drive too!)
err. dont tell me the design of the B7RLE is similar to the Hippobus..?
Which in my 2 cents worth, is 'inspired' by SKSbus e128's front.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:Similar front, especially the bottom front below the windscreen. Go see the HippoTour DD with the curve front.![]()
borrow from the soon chow story thread.Originally posted by chocolates-xed:anyone got a link to the b7RLE hippotour bus?
