For comparison
Prototype -> Batch 1 -> Batch 2 -> Euro V

Just curious, so essentially for new buses, including prototypes:
1. There are 4 variants of the Scania K230UB (also what are the differences between the 4 types?
2. 1 standard Volvo B9TL?
3. 1 Mercedes
4. 1 MAN
5. 1 Volvo
and for SMRT:
1. 2 variants of the Mercedes right (and what differences? excluding the driver's window)?
Thanks in advance!

Let's transfer my previous posts to this thread in case you want to glance through my pictures
SBS8562T On 36
SBS8579X On 3
The new & clearer to see Hanover EDS.
And they forgot to rectify the error on its EDS.
The Door Closing sign is a blank (SBS8562T had only pure red light without any Door Closing Sign).
The granny seats on the entrance door side.
The seats behind the granny seats located behind the driver's cabin (which means there's only 1 standee area for PIW instead of 2)
New Emergency Exit sticker, instead of Use Hammer to Break Window Glass, they use...
The rear of the Scania Bus
-
rear of the euro v is different from the euro v. the silver thing is of a different proportion

Got on to 8576D by chance on 3 today. First thing I saw was the huge Hanover EDS and Punggol Field. Inside the interior is somewhat more pleasing on the eye than the Euro IV and i dare say it's one of the best interiors in the SBS fleet. Also, the engine is also quiet at the front
Took a seat at the back of the bus and when it went, I heard a faint turbo whistle and in my opinion the gear changes are faster, and so is the acceleration. BN may have tuned the engine because sometimes the engine hit high revs. However, unlike the Euro IV, when it revved, it didn't have the sudden vibrations. At lower revs the engine had some sort of a rattling sound but it went away when it hit higher revs. Also when it came to stop at a traffic light, it went to lower revs in neutral. Good for the environment and fuel economy.

today i took 8567E on 36
quite a good bus. i realised that two triangular portions near the front of the bus have been painted green.

1st pic maybe they SBST style of Central. Hopefully someone had did STOMP on it or feedback to SBST.2nd pic blank door closing...Do they have a new sounding chime/voice announcements or still following the Euro IV 84XX sound?
3rd pic So the STOMP post on SBST's funny engrish emergency sticker is rectified. Hopefully the other misleading stickers can be replaced progressively, if not SBST have to spend money to replace broken windows.

1st pix - I hope so, cos the EDS downloaded into the bus is the same memory as shared by other BNDEP KUBS. That's why u see the other KUBs with the EDS unrectified yet.
2nd pic - Ths door closing chime is a bit the same like euro 4 (the 2nd gen ones u hear on 82xx (parts)/83xx/84xx (parts)/85xx series. No voice announcements, this is not SMRT.
3rd pic - no sign of STOMP posting yet until I discover it.
