i remember the chinese newspapers said last year that SBST is trialling this King Long hybrid electric bus from middle of 2011 onwards. Its going to be december already how come there's still no news? or SBST has changed their minds already?

Not sure. But there was another King Long hybrid bus used by SBS Transit during the Youth Olympic Games in August 2010.

Are you referring to another King Long Model used by SBST / NTU? If you are referring to it, that is RD6066L. Still inside its resting place inside NTU area.

Think the bus is not suitable and realiable for both operators. Luckily that SBST didn't use it.

no display name SG

I am not too sure if it's helpful but I saw a similar design bus like the above picture.. It's used as a transportation for a medical company in west side. Not too sure what's the company name, but the uniform is blue color.

What makes me notice is LED display~

Singapore's first hydrogen-electric bus, which once ferried athletes around the Youth Olympic Games Village, now sits in a corner of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) awaiting conversion into a fully electric bus.

In another trial, public transport operator SMRT tested a diesel-electric bus for six months this year, but decided not to bring in more because it was not fuel-efficient enough.

There was another hybrid-bus trial that a private transport operator had planned to conduct last year, but that too hit the skids.

A year on, the results of the first hybrid-bus trials here are a mixed bag.

These hybrid buses, tried on an ad-hoc basis by individual firms, were intended as a means of saving fuel.

"awaiting conversion into a fully electric bus."

the straits times said that NTU had tested the hydrogen-electric bus by driving from Jurong to Changi and back, as well as around campus and found no problems with the technology. the only area of concern was cost. the bus is now awaiting conversion to a fully electric bus by adding more batteries and changing the control systems.

As for the 2 SBST diesel-electric buses, SBST said the buses have travelled more than 10,000km so far. But they are still gathering data and have yet to come to a conclusion.

Anyway, NTU has dismantled the hydrogen cell pumping station
