  hmm, as in the seating problem ( a few more seats but not much improvements) and better EDS.

  should say: i heck care him.

  anyway since i join sgf, i nv ever had met TTS till now. but after some bus fans came to me and share about his ugly actions, i will be cautious and avoid him if he is on my eyes.

  same as me... just ignore him

  i nvr see him before... I will be careful if let's say i happen to meet him around

  okok... no more OT... come back to the cool Scania KUBs Euro V buses =D

  Hmm, Hanover EDS much better than those Cool Air ones, I prefer the Hanover because its end destination (i.e. > TAMPINES 38) can see clearly as the font size is larger.

  It might be other BNDEP services like 3, 5, 17, 291, 358? you won't be surprised if it ever deploys on those services, not only sv 36 alone lol.

  Isit? I checked against the bus and lorry category of Euro Emission standards here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_V#Emission_standards_for_lorries_and_buses

  Correct me if im wrong, i've no clue about the tech specs of the current Euro V batch

  Means, the Scania K230UB (Euro V batch) have an engine of less than 0.75 dm³ swept volume per cylinder and a rated power speed of more than 3,000 per minute therefore meeting the Euro EEV?

  What about the OC500LEs of SMRT/SBST? May be referred to as Euro EEV?

  u check wherther the EURO EEV Scania bus have the added component of a air purifier. if i not wrong there is. With air purifier added to an EURO V engine, the bus is effectively EURO EEV... am i not wrong?

   

  the SMRTB OC500LE are confrimed up to EURO V.

  a misconception

  Scania k230Ub are capable of lifting the suspension higher. In Australia the L94UB's drivers regularly press the suspension lifting button to lift bus up. they cruuise below 10km.h up the hill. If i not wrong preslectiing "2" on the ZF gearbox selector also is needed. A sllight tapping on the acclerator pdeal will enforce the kick down notiions needed to rev the bbus up the hill.

   

  now if u exceed beyond 10km/h the bus will auto level back. we do not want that so go below 10km/h.

  now assuuming L94UBs are like K230Ub whhich shd be the case, the K230Ub shd lift high up and clear any hill but must go less than 10km/h or 15km/h or 20km/h or whatever 5th series scanias settings are and the bus can clear the hill.

  One thing i know, if u look at the dash area carefuully, the Scnaia K230Ub dun have a full range of gearbox selection for their ZFs.. hmjmm..

  Auto kneeling functiion

  Some research i did on L94Ub made me realise our K230Ub shd have this

   

  the other day I found it to be true

   

  upon reaching a bus stop, id id notcie a k230Ub lower down its bus and then lift up after moving off. this conforms with a L94Ub bbus features.

   

  So hooray our K230Ub has auto kneeling function.
