  No press release anywhere to indicate any sort of numbers.

  Also I find it curious that people are saying that 5888H is a ND363F. Considering that the NLB ones are ND323Fs (and this is supported by their own destos), 5888H could very well be a ND323F as well, where are the sources that it is a 320hp or 360hp? All I see are pages created by bus fans without any sources. Even the Wikipedia entry on the A95 seems dodgy and unprofessionally written. I do remember that people were basing it off the Berlin A39 and the Neoman A34, but thats not a good enough basis to determine the power output of 5888H, given that it is a new product.

  Yes, they changed the silver rims to their standard Alcoa chrome rims to match the fleet...

  A95 should be going KJ first, kicked out those BSEP DDs on 190(on non-BSEP slots one). Then WLDEP and slowly to AMDEP. 

  Should purchase somemore..got a few potential service needs DD..

  SMB5888H is an ND 323 F.

  Hmm is the information from MAN after sales portal? On Wikipedia's page the person who edited the page cited the MAN after sales portal, and it does look like it has the answers to SMB5888H's specifications. I believe that SMB388S's specifications can also be found out from there. The only thing is that a login is required to access the details.
