Possible too. The logos are pasted on? I always thought they are spray painted on.

China's an emerging market for coach and buses. And for a start they're making quite good grounds here. -

You're right,Interms of refined quality China cant beat German in any way.Even the Jap also cant get much close.Maybe in few years time China can be on par with the Koreans and Malaysians..

Haha, you sure that Japan cannot beat the Germans? I dare say last time when the only Japanese buses I know are the U31 and HS3K, but when I see their hybrid and IPT buses, the Germans have truely lost out.
Of course, when you pit a Citaro against the low entry Japanese buses then its a different story. But for a Japanese bus to be 4 times more fuel efficient in the same class, is it still a German winning match?
What I am talking are the domestic models in Japan.
The Indonesian and Malaysian chassis produced under brands from Japan are not counted as Japanese produced buses.

Thats obvious isn't it?

There are abt 6-7 new OCs parked at C&C yesterday.Didn't see the SBST OC there.But i saw a orange roof among the SMRT OCs.That shld be the SBST OC if it is still there.
-
Hmm so far, no other OCs are registered?
-
Looks like SMRT may choose to register all the remaining buses at one go.

I think should be SMRT having too much buses and hence there isn't any space for OCs.

Is it because of the past China products bad QCs have influenced you? Well, it's time to open up and give a try to the China products of today. Yutong, King Long etc, like other coachmakers is working to make a profit and towards good products for their customers. I believe the quality now is satisfactory as an alternative over Japanese/European chassis, and the number of China-made vehicles are increasing (especially coaches). -

What i'm talking is not just about buses but the whole automotive makes,German and European bulit are much more refined.Jap is good as they're more into mass production.I didnt say Jap are bad either,Cause the engine can endure asian wheather but European are starting to built more reliable all wheather engines now.Just look at Volkswagen,Audi,Merc,BMW,MAN all are super reliable right?China coaches seems to be fav among asian countries as maost of it using european engine like cummins etc.Hence operator doesn't heck care much about body quality.The cost saving are more important to them.I rest my say here,Didn't want to debate more.
