New Arrivals for 2010
This November, some new buses arrived for Hong Kong
Volvo B7RLE Mark 3
Co: KMB
Bodywork: MCV Evoltuion
Gearbox: (???)
EURO: (???)
At least one unit spotted by the folks there, bus doing tests
runs and not registered yet by their "LTA".
comments:
Why is the MCV eVoltuion badge missing?
The emer exit door is now enhanced with all black colour. some
safety rule there i guess.
I guess a nice Fleet Code would be AVBM1
Alexander-Dennis Enviro 400
Co: KMB and CityBus (CTB)
Bodywork: Integral from Alexander Dennis
Gearbox: (Voith???)
EURO: (Cleaner and greener but EURO ???)
Comments:
At least one unit of both companies spotted by the folks there,
one KMB bus doing tests runs and not registered yet by their "LTA".
Many photos of the bus with special EDS messages. In conforming
with HK ruling EDS still shows yellow colour. Some meesages: "
Lighter, cleaner and greener" "innvoation with style"
"Alexander Dennis logo" " Enviro 400"
I am sure the Hong Kong fans had a nice time snapping away on road
test day.
As with the B7RLE the emer exit door is fully black.
Also noticed is bull bar, a first for Hong Kong
buses. Bull bar is sued to keep branches of low trees from hitting
the bus too hard. bull bar will get the full impact and prevent
damage to bus. The Bull bar is a common feature of Enviro buses in
Uk and Canada and USA.
The windows are modified to suit and conform to the Hong Kong bus
fleet, no roudned windows.
The front door egg shape styling is retained for this Enviro
400.
fleet code? er.... ATEB? lol
Future?
Will Hk buy Enviro 300 to complete their Enviro fleets? time
will tell.
How come u didnt mention about the rest of the newcomers in hk ?
