I wonder if sbst test the citaro bus before they import it from
german? It is a nice bus, but the design of the bus is for left
hand drive, you can see the dark "ex-jos" piple smoke coming out
from the left side which blow into the bus stop, compare to KUBs
and volvo bus which assembled here. But the old version 405 was
aseembled here the "ex-jos" piple is on the right side. I still
refer new buses assemble in singapore. Maybe the air-con system
should improve by drilling hole like KUBs bus which so much colder.
no need to wait until the warranty is over in fact the air-con
should be covered under warranty. The old 405 also have this
problem before until sbst modify it to make the air blow downward.
I hope the new 800 for both public bus operator have with
air-con comfort like KUBs and comfort like that volvo CNG SD bus in
fact that volvo CNG should be the bus both operator use. nice
air-con very comfort and very power even it is using CNG. forget
about the MKs.
B10BLE CNG are pretty good buses during its time, but
unfortunately, they are no longer produced by Volvo at the time
where sbst ordered the KUBs and Citaros. The current few are also
pretty badly maintained, with doors not closing properly and
leaving a big gap, wheel rims that are dented, and even the
drivetrain seems like its going to fall apart anytime soon.
There are also some components hidden within the aircon duct of
the citaro, cant simply just drill holes as they wish.
