Daimler delivers largest Asian Citaro order to date (Part 3)

Depends on models IMO. Like if you compare LO3xs, I guess you could say AM/BR does a better job than SLBP. But if you're saying Citaros, no doubt AMDEP is b...

For me I have no issues with the Citaros at all... except for the pick up (or lack thereof). It has to rev really high to have good pick up, which is a waste of fuel, makes gearshifts rough and jerky, though I can't expect much from a 6400cc engine on a citybus.... there's no replacement for displacement (compare the Citaro's pick up to say an O405 here)

SMRT and SBST should switch to bigger engine option for Citaro~

I wonder how’s the fuel economy compared to bigger engines? Like in terms of BHP/L of fuel. I see that Citaros average around 43L/100km with the 6.4 litre engine. It’s funny how when accelerating the instant fuel economy surpasses 99L/100km and then goes blank to hide the fact that it’s consuming much more fuel than that.

I don't find the problem with the engine actually, but if you know of anyone who sits at the front of the Citaros, you will know why. Usually I will sit at the front for my convenience. The front seats will suddenly turn hot after a while of siting, most probably due to some sort of engine that generates heat under the front seat. This is one of the points that makes us feel that Citaros are uncomfortable apart from those you stated above.

I dont feel the heat one the left front , but the heat on the right ... Even the right has a bigger handrest , i still prefer the left 1 with a smaller one....

The area between the driver and the first row of seats on the right, on the exterior there is a vent, so there is heat being transmitted there.

SBS6232J (BN 518) is now officially without the rim covers (or whatever is the precise thing to call that) as well. One of last few initial BNDEP Citaros to be left with the rim covers on before this.

They tied the wire coils to secure the lugnuts way before & left the rim covers on that time though till now. Dk why they still drop the rim covers now.

*Shakes head*

Half a year inside AMDEP and yet so many problems are popping up.

When WLDEP handled the B1 citaro there weren't so many problems but <1 year at AMDEP there are so much issues at hand.

Really.

On paper manufacturers always put something with 5 stars where in true term it's between 3 and 4 stars.Our tropical climate made it more fuel guzzle.What do you expect from a 6.4 liter citybuses?Another reason why SMRT don't wanna purchase more Citaros.City bus somewhere 7000-10500cc is just nice for our roads.

Their technical staff all cmi.Big lazy goons only,Claimed more OTs but work half heart.Im hoping that SMRT will sell off all 51 Citaros and concentrate with MANs,OCs and other makes.

I am really disappointed to be honest. If they are not interested in keeping the citaros well then they should return it to WLDEP and not wasting their time.

KJDEP I do not think have problems with citaros, WLDEP lost so much just because of the MAN, AMDEP just can't be bothered to maintain it well. If that is the case how are they going to maintain the Citaro C2 if they keep this kind of standard?
