  err how do these old hino compare to the new smrt hinos?

  i didnt have chance to ride em.. but i have seen the old hinos on the road.

  the new hinos seem

  slow.

  TIBS old Hino has 2 kind , one is the Hino RK176K , the first TIBS model on the roads and withdrawn in the early 90's i guess? The 2nd one is the Hino HT version , one with sliding door and another with folding door , the sliding door version were the last type of Hino NAC , withdrawn somewhere in 2001 if im not wrong.
  
  The new Hino that we see today on the roads is the Hino HSKRK ....

  carbikebus also ur answer wrong .

   

  as for question1, the person who mention the oldest bus fitted with Voith will of course get credit . i dun even know myself which bus earliest fitted with voith. but is optimal that the answer be a 1984 or before  kind of model bus of SBS. dun go mark 3.  then again if only one peep answer mark 3 he will get the correct answer . lol

  Its definitely not mark 3. I guess you refer to the B10M MKIII bah. Don't forget about ex CSS's DAFs. They came in 1990 (MKIIIs are 1993) and they have Voith gearboxes.

  2) Did SBS ever bought DAF bbuses? if not, what was the closest that they recived?

  I'm thinking of SBS 9C, the Volvo B10M with Van Hool body. Since DAF is from Holland, I guess Van Hool from Belgium would be the closest match.
