Even if they ordered way before this and deliveries start only
in Jan 2013, I expect at least half of those new batch of Citaros
to be the newer Gen3 ones cause at the current rate of delievery,
the new ones will at least take 1.5 - 2.5 years to all come out on
our roads. It's crazy to think MB would extend their production of
this current Gen2 Citaro for that long, they already delayed their
start of Gen 3 Citaro production already if i'm not wrong for quite
a bit because of SBST's order of those Citaros you see now.
And I don't think MB has that many current gen Citaros (450 of
them) to be cleared, it's not the same as mass producing cars that
you can produce 1000cars or more in a month.
Logically speaking. 
You have a point here. So I highly suspect that the 450 new
Citaros might be the new generation ones but with EURO V 6.3L
engines.
MB Citaro Euro VI has start production in June this year do
probably mean yes.Hope the article is wrong about the Euro V..Keep
finger crossed.
Need to know some techincal facts. Does the Citaro 3/C2 comes with
only EURO VI engines or has options for both EURO V and EURO
VI???
If Mercedes Benz offered both, then the article might be
correct. 
It's stated Euro V so more or less the same as current.Seems
Sbst just concentrate on Scanias Volvos and MBs only.Smrt on the
other hand will try to find a diff model beside their MANs and
MBs.
Think SMRT will stick to MAN in future. Seems like SMRT
and ST Kinetics have a collaboration now. So most likely SMRT will
buy more A22s. Future DD model most likely a MAN as well. 
Unless SMRT wants to go back to Hinos and UDs.
Should purchase more Volvo B7RLE Ah Soon(Soon Chow Bodywork). I
find that the B7 are better :x Plus the aircon very good.
B7RLE is low entry, not full low floor.
SBST should have bought 400 of them instead of 400 EURO IV KUBs.
