From facebook, sources say that this new CDGE bus from Australia is in an unknown SBST depot, i think HGDEP and SBS Transit is planning to trial this new bus. No more KUBs and Citaros only as our Single-Deck wab fleet! 我国的公共交通系统不断改進，新捷运SBS的巴士车队伍，随着有最新款式的推出啦！最新款式的豪华牌VOLVO巴士…室内以蓝色的桌椅为主题！

However the door cock is below the bumper, which bcs need to bend down and press the door cock button..

Newest bus model of Volvo, the seats are blue as the theme. I think the bus model is Volvo B5RHLE...

New addition to join SBS8030L !

It seems that this is the bus model:

Volvo B7RLE

According to wikipedia, it seems that this bus is already here, on service.

except this is not in Volgren bodywork.

SBS5010P SG

I think not B7RLE leh ? The source said that it's Volvo's newest bus model..

the bus inside same as kub not the one use in 170 but the last batch of kub or oc500le. and hopefully don't rock like one. citaro is better only things is the sitting area and the air-con cannot adjust like kub or DD. it seems like air-con blower cannot be adjusted and one sit near the door is face each other like smrt man bus. also inside look a bit like smrt oc500le merc

SBS5010P SG

i dun like citaro cause the engine at the back is damn hot and also dont forget the chunk of black smoke emitting out of it's exhaust pipe. Also the aisle is very narrow + the back seat got one very big thing jaga the place

SBS2601D SG

I am guessing its a hybrid bus.

The interior looks like our kub euro 5 but good thing that it is more modern.

TIB1234T SG

Its Volgren Volvo B5RHLE, the very first demonstrator unit… Transperth #2245 is the 2nd unit demonstrator with slightly different interior…

TIB1234T SG

This demonstrator is the one on roadshow last year or the year before...
The links are below...

See the blue butt-rest near the Entrance? It's exactly the same as the one inside depot currently... The frontside bumper sticker is the same as well, only applies to this bus...

Hmm Volvo Australia have B8RLE?

SBS9C SG

This bus was exhibited at the Australian Bus & Coach Show 2013, and was rumored that it was destined for Singapore, but there were no further news about it anymore until now.

This is the SECOND of three Volvo B5RH Hybrid buses built in Dandenong, Victoria, Australia by Volgren. The first unit became Transperth (2245). The third unit became Torrens Transit (1901).
