not rly. automatic upshift too quickly as stated above right? so manual will enable the driver to upshift at an optimum level -

The bus engine very easily heat up. Run on A/P shift for the whole day the engine will sure boom.
because there's no sufficient cool air flow for the engine from e outside!

and it won't be a comfortable ride for every passengers. Go one gear up or down, will jerk and lurch a bit. Then some more BCs will need to maintain the clutch and gearbox if not the engine can suddenly switch off. Last time happened on private coaches, the driver lost the timing then cause the engine to flameout.it does not mean this way. it is how e driver accelerates - whether he wants to step very hard or lightly.

No BC on sv 174 and 174e would love to drive that bus now. Sometimes they would even want to exchange this bus for a spare merc, scania, leyland or exchange buses with their colleagues.
give it to me then

defeats the purpose of installing an auto transmission on a citybus in the first place...

but still if auto transmission gets problems like this, they should need to fix it immediately. if not another way is manual. -
There are some modication to the gearbox. Now the gear doesn't seem to change so fast and most importantly no more squeaking sound from the suspension.

like scanias, ain't it. the kub's always vibrate hard when the revs go above 1500rpm or so. -

if i'm not mistaken, the cause of all these is 绑油... and we can more or less assume it's cos the bus is no longer Volvo's bus...

Nonono. Don't get him wrong. He meant that the bus no longer belongs to Volvo but is now SBS Transit's. In other words demo period is over -
Actually I think the bus design for this bus is the most COOL and HIP of all the WAB single decks brought in. A pity they didnt import more of the WAB Volvo B7RLE.

If the demo was successful it'll probably be bought in bulk.Anyway, even though it's a pity, it also means we should look forward to more new demos soon.
