SMRT should consider a bus that is hybrid to save the earth and cut fuel cost on operating.

It costs a bomb to buy hybrid buses and cost even more to maintain them. Our govt is not supporting the use of hybrid buses unlike countries like Australia, Germany.

Maybe mrt system is better than long distance bus service in 10-20 years time. by the time no need many buses on the road. only short distance service will do, feeder bus service. example toa payoh 235 from interchange to caldecott mrt station.

Actually can differentiate the hp of scania buses sometimes or whether is SD or DD.

Like Scania K230UB

230 is the HP

B means SD

And Scania K310UD

310 is HP

D is double decker

D is double decker

That means A is articulated bus, if I'm not wrong

TIB 501 D SG

That means A is articulated bus, if I'm not wrong

D means DD(Scania K310UD)

A or G means bendy(Volvo B10MA, Mercedes Benz O405G, O530G, Citaro G, MAN NG363F A24, Mercedes Benz OC500UA.)

Only exception is Solaris Urbino 18, no A or G... They use 12, 15, 18 as numbers to represent length, rigid, long bus and bendy.

I've joyride the KL K270UB and seriously it doesn't vibrate like our Restricted K230.With K360UD I feel it's more better than the Wrights.I dun mind SBST or SMRT consider the new Citywide LF with 280hp version

280hp is way under-powered for a WAB and new DD.

280hp is way under-powered for a WAB and new DD.

Do you know what is Citywide BTW?

dan474 SG

280hp is way under-powered for a WAB and new DD.

Scania Citywide LE/LF is a SD available in rigid and articulated option

Anyway 280hp is underpowered according to SMRT standards (OC is 299hp, Citaro is 285hp, A22 is 320hp )

SBS9C SG

Citaro G

MAN NG363

MAN Lion City G

Which will it be???

There's still hope now, don't give up hope so easily, guys!

Hope MAN Lion City G since it would be an entirely "new" model for SG unlike the Citaros and the A22s.

Citaro Gs are very different from stock Citaro rigids. The Citaro G Euro 5s come with the OM 457 hLA engine with either 299hp or 354hp (OM 906 hLA is NOT an option). This means that they will perform much better than the Citaro rigids.

TIB 501 D SG

But they're quite expensive...

Most likely is MAN NG363F A24 or MAN Lion City G...

dan474 SG

They should try the O500UA too, though it's a low entry.

TIB 501 D SG

They should try the O500UA too, though it's a low entry.

They should try out both the OC500UA and the MAN NG363F A24 though...

And don't forget the MAN Lion City G. Citaro G too expensive, Solaris Urbino no connection with asia...

joeyfjj SG

Citaros don't have very good performance going by fuel consumption. I doubt SMRT will get an further Citaros.

I think they probably will get MANs, just because they already have a ignifican number of MAN buses.

If the order is big enough, anything is possible. All variants of the K-UA, K-UB and K-UD use the same DC9 engine, so any power output desired is of course possible. It would therefore be perfectly possible to purchase a fleet of K360UBs for example.

If Scania can offer a K360UD double decker, then SMRTB should seriously consider it. Maybe it can be bodied by Gemilang but different design from SBST K310UD.

carbikebus SG

Citaros is good provided they using the new 10.500cc engine not the 6.700cc engine.No need waste money buy CBU buses,Buy Scania KUD 3axles with 360hp/1600nm option is more than good.For single deckers they got no horsepower requirement.

SMB228X SG

If SMRT buy Scania KUD will be Gemilang body same as SBS design!!! Should buy Euro VI Citaro not creepy Scania!!!

No Citaro. The design at the rear is dangerous and can cause people to fall.
