yes. i suspect, other than 绑油, the gear ratios are totally
mismatched, resulting in insufficient power especially when
climbing the hill. whereas it could climb the holland rd flyover
slip rd at 4th or 5th gear previously, now it moves at 15km/h on
2nd gear. it's really terrible. nobody likes to drive this bus
now.
No BC on sv 174 and 174e would love to drive that bus now.
Sometimes they would even want to exchange this bus for a spare
merc, scania, leyland or exchange buses with their colleagues.
