SMRT Buses purchases MAN A22 buses (Part 2)

last SG · 2013-05-22T15:04:07+00:00

That SMRT new MAN bus super shiok, fly highway like fly Ferrari liddat, driver very on. Somemore bus got powerful Denso aircon for hot days like today, so n...

If I am not wrong these buses should be replacing the outgoing 04s in different depots

Look forward to see the O405s down in the next few weeks...

Seems like KJ doesn't have cover when their buses are gone - WLDEP has already took all of it to be honest.

SMB 1396L Today running on sv 854

Press release from MAN stated additional 200 buses, which makes a total of 400 buses. Unless MAN made a mistake which is highly impossible.

What i'm guessing is this:

SMB189A - SMB354P (166 buses)
SMB3001M - SMB3034T (34 buses) which add up to 200 of Batch 1... while

SMB1301K - maybe SMB1434K (134 buses)
SMB3035R - maybe SMB3100K (66 buses) which add up to 200 of Batch 2...

so, maybe these are the 400 A22s?

Probably, maybe they jump till 4xx leh? Anyway good try.

Still got money ba At least slightly cheaper than WEG/Citaro?

Would want them order another 100 buses to make it 500 since it is BSEP pay de.

If they want to order 100 more with the BSEP funds I hope they choose something better such as the MB OC500LE, MAN Lion's City LE or MAN 18.280. At least the money would be better spent than buying more MAN NL323Fs.

SMB66X SG

Infact BSEP should be intro earlier...like that more capacity buses[OCs/KUBs] would be brought in

All the Best! SG

Well, better late than never

carbikebus SG

I prefer they buy Vanhool or Volvo B8RLE

I prefer they buy Vanhool or Volvo B8RLE

B8RLE with Soon Chow bodywork like 8030L will be really nice. Vanhool buses maybe not possible for the time being.

carbikebus SG

Vanhool I thought use MAN engines.

SMB128B SG

MAN and Dennis buses are good... MAN has good acceleration and smoother rides while Dennis buses have good horsepower which is good for inclines and long-distance routes...

It depends on the engine type used, so I wouldn't say the MAN has good acceleration and smooth rides, while Dennis buses have good horsepower. Maybe SMRT could consider the Enviro 300 (2 door version, currently only single door version exist AFAIK) with either Cummins, MAN, Volvo or Scania engines.

Why MAN A22 currently kept having sudden jerk when the bus stop/start accelerating??

SMB128B SG

Why MAN A22 currently kept having sudden jerk when the bus stop/start accelerating??

By saying Good acceleration I am trying to say that the bus can accelerate to 60km/h within a short amount of time.

I know, but I'm asking you another question, rather unrelated to most of your words there :x

So I'm actually not the only one who noticed. =.=

SMRT buy MAN buses because it is a government linked company and the supplier of MAN bus is STK also a government linked company, like brother and sister in one family, get things done faster and cheaper. Also we tax payer paid for them.
