Yup he's right. All Rapid Penang Buses are using a Scania K270UB engine chassis and not the K230UB chassis. I guess the wrong info has been spread. so does e...

lianamaster SG

Yea....design's pretty similar... looks like that model is hot...

Actually, it's not very surprising that other countries have the same buses as us since we are not the ones manufacturing the buses... SBST also source the buses from foreign countries too.

sbst272 SG

design quite similar to the euro 4 kub

The front like euro 5 (got 2 granny seat infront and the side EDS is located at the top) but the rear like euro 4...

sbst272 SG

Yeah. Scania K230UB

200 Scania K230UB (euro 4) for rapid penang, not 152.

SBS 8030 L SG

all like copycat wor. but scania is cheap, you got to accept that.

but then again, scania is powerful. Singapore, malaysia, hong kong and a few other countries also have k230ub.

No pics of the front of the bus.And it seems that this rapid penang kubs also have 2 WAB slots.Later kena complained by people there like in singapore then rapid penang also have to reduce one slot in the later batches.

I think only one la, i never see the couch at the front

At least Singapore got the largest order in Asia. Does that means ours are cheaper than other countries since we bought in bulk?

Cheers.

Maybe next time if SBST orders more Scanias from them, they are entitled to more discount?

Will there be a next time?

wah seh...K310UD ar? with Salvador Caetano body?

SGCar SG

Mm was wondering should SBST consider other manufactures like Neoplan?

Scania K310 would be a good addition to DD family.

Cheers.

It is exploiting marketing economies of scale. The large firm(sbs) can buy buses in bulk at favourable rates. It is also able to dictate its requirements with regard to quality and delievery much more effectively. All these mean that sbs can get their buses at a reduced cost.

SMRT BUSES LuvER SG

Yea... I want to see more DDs pls.

I want to see DDs on SMRT, since LTA banned from buying bendy buses..

The Rapid Penang Scania buses may be K270 or K310. not certain yet.
The dashbaord does not signify if its a EURO 4 or 5. So by looking at dash you cannot tell.

the bodywork is in fact by Volgren (According to my freind) . unsure which volgren body as of now because... ah hem where is the front pic? i reckon if its Volgrenn it might be one of those CR224L bodywork

bus is IN FACT low floor and has one of those slippery non grip mannual ramps. Youc na see some skid marks done by some whheelchairs on those poc.

Nice use of side beamer lights for extra safety when at night or dawn. Those beamer lights r a feature from Chhina or Taiwan countires.

When we get more info, we'll confirm many facts

Volgren or gemilang?
K230 or K270 or K310
