  should be 'complete built unit/up' if i'm right. it means de bus is built completely [body+chassis+engine] paint not sure; from a place overseas then sent to the country that tendered the unit/bus. i think quite expensive if 'CBU'.

  Great finding! They are rushing to introduce the new KUB. Chassis keep coming in. Why they dun want to give Soon Chow? is it to ex? FYGI, the strider/DM 3500 assembly plate indicate that they are assembled at HG/BA.

  Not just Striders, the Batch 2 VO3x have them. I don't recall DM3500s having them.

  SC Auto has tendered to assemble part of the 500 initial order. If they want to assemble these 300 units, they need to submit their tender again.

  life's like that...

  you wait at the bus stop practically the buses you do not wish to take keeps coming.. it irritates you more if more than one bus of the same service arrives.. while the service that you wish to take seemed to take forever to come..

  found out that there is another display method besides pasting on windscreen and slotting in... today took 8440L on 185 for WAB logo is by using 2 plastic hooks that can be stickable to the windscreen, punch 2 holes on WAB logo and then hang onto it.
