Ive rode on King Long Citybus / Coach in Singapore / Thailand / China / Hong Kong.
Ride is smooth and comfortable..
Thats all i can say... :) -
But afterall I think SBST will never buy any China made buses.

never is a strong word to use.if in the near future inflation really does blow up, then buying EU buses would not be a feasible idea and we might have to turn to china made buses or asian ones for that matter.

Bro..
U still living in the 80s ??
Theres actually alot of things out there which are produce in China and you are using it. Just because is from china and you have the mindset that its a inferior good ? Then i must you are wrong. Take a ride on a few of them and i can tell u that things have changed. They are not like what u think..
At least, i can say that my experience with a King Long had left me a much better experience with compared to the KUBs.

For you info, China buses basically have a continental chassis components like ZF, Wabco, Knorr Bremse while the cabin is China made and branded with a Chinese brand. And they are getting extremely popular in South East Asia.

I saw a few King Long buses around esplanade in march. IMO, i think that the interior looks nice, with light brown seats
Only downside is that i find the engine roars too loud =P

It has EDS, but doesn't work now, think not programmed yet. Like the PA B7Rs/B7RLEs, it is still quite hard to get this bus at Harbourfront.

Ofiicially 8031 is a King Long Higer 6.7L AT ABS. Although the proper designation by King Long UAI (Suzhou) is KLQ6121GQ. This bus has a Cummins ISBE engine with a ZF 6 speed automatic transmission.
