hmm interesting. cnt wait for the new DD. i tot they will purchase volvo SDs. lol. Scania SD again seh. really hope is new interior design. if not will be sian. haha
-
soonest or later,some ppl will ask what are the rego of these buses..

On a personal prediction :
1. The Scania SD order is unlikely to bring any significant changes, unless the gap between this and next Euro V order is substansial. Probably same engine, bodywork and specifications with only minor improvements. If back-to-back delivery EDS and A/C Unit manufacturer would probably be retained, otherwise any changes you might notice is this. Any big surprise might come in change of gearbox. Probably we are going to end up calling it Batch II.
2. The Volvo DD order is going to be a lot more interesting. A 5-year gap is a lot of change. Since even the engine is going to be different, SBST might well be looking for a new bodywork to go along with it be it Soon Chow (which would be very, very happy if they got the tender) or CDGE. For all we might know, we might get LECIP/Mobitec EDS again. Anything unexpected would be if they get something that looks like it were actually meant for Metroline.

Only 150 new ADDs.
Maybe Volvo might give them another option for another 50???Anyway good to see more new buses from SBST again. Especially the new B9TLs. Wonder why SBST didn't bring a demo of the B5L hybrid DD???
But then it's a good thing that they didn't get the Scania K310UDs. But look forward for something new for the upcoming new K230UBs.
From this trend, I observe that this might not be a one to one fleet renewal, in this case for the next to be out Volvo B10M MK3s. So this new fleet is replacing the MK3s or other unknown models will be replacing them???

Just don't Coolair and Gemilang anymore
We had enough of difficult EDSes and cracking bodyworks
hopefully the interior appearance of the buses can be improved. Red, purple, maybe light orange or bright red or something, don't brown anymore...=\

B9TL is the only ADD model available in the market under Volvo.

The body is different lah...

for B9TLs, i hope the bodywork can be slightly twisted.
1st deck, the foru rear facing seats abolished, cause too many people uses it as leg rest, instead, push one more row of seats, i understand that this will need a rasing of the floor to accomodate the axle, like what HK did on their ADDs........ in addition, insert seatbelt at PIW backrest
MOstly onli singaporeans do tt, under the staircase can add a pair of seats
2nd floor, the two side facing seats (6), should be changed to front facing, this should addd 2 more seats.........
Plus use EDS please, i hope is DT style not LEPIC eds..........
-
Haiz, scania single decks again?
I was looking forward to more ADDs.
Well, 150....better than none.

Another important factor is tire selection, right Dave? Wrong selection of tires can really increase fuel consumption on long runs.
Yeah, tyre size and type can make a significant difference.

Lianhe Zaobao states that the interior design is the same as the EEVs. Sian...

If you read the Straits Times today, SBST and NTU are collaborating to develop a new fuel cell bus which uses hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity to run a bus. Should be out by next March for the SG Youth Games.This will be another breakthrough for electric buses here, since the 1990s. TIBS started a trial for an converted electric Nissan Civilian midibus and test run in Singapore for a period of time but the project did not really take off after that.
Let's see what this new SBST fuel cell bus can achieve for electric buses market here. Since it is developed locally, it will certainly a breakthrough for the automotive industry here. And maybe expect it to be bodied by local body builder Soon Chow since it is developed locally as a whole.

well hopefully people dont go crazy over K230s on services that were newly deployed on. Do some math and you will know every single service will get it.. FOR SURE.and hopefully throw 80 (or more if they expand fleet) directly to 160/170.

they should like stop buying these scanias and go get something else.
honestly.
i'm not against scania or anything but
1) it's utterly boring to see 1350 of these on the road.
2) i took a few more rides on euro v kub's, and i've just come to realise that they are just about as jerky as the euro iv's.
3) gemilang probably put dumbbells somewhere in the euro v's to make them feel more 'stable'.
4) fuel inefficient, tiring sound.
the list goes on and on.
maybe the only saving grace is these buses have nice and cold air con. and when i say cold, i mean, cold.
other than that, i'd much rather see MAN, mercedes, volvo, even bring on some other european brands like renault for example.
