I hope they don't get ZF gearbox. Voith gearbox is much more quieter.

The whine and cry of a ZF gearbox will soon be over. ZF has introduced the ZF Ecolite. Busfans from UK mentioned that this gearbox doesnt even whine at all. So it might even sound like Allison. Really, theres really very little whine, almost no whine at all!

i whine about the ZF whine gone cuz i love the whineing of the Zf gearbox. The catcall even better. super rare in this island to get the catcall unless u sit the scania k230Ubs.

i wish more bus models will use Zf6HP5X4 series...

incidentally it is my opinion that OC500LE shd come with ZFs

The old Nissan U31SCN's had lovely catcalls. Too bad they are all gone.

They were talking about the Old Nissan UDs..

Not New UDs..

There is no such thing as old or new Nissan UD's now. The old UD's (TIB43J, TIB44G, TIB85M - TIB112T, TIB121S - TIB145Z, TIB251A - TIB336P, TIB390G) are all gone long long time ago. TIB362M to TIB377X are actually the same age as the UD's that came from CSS. They were all bought at around the same time.

Something interesting I had found on SMRT website..

http://www.smrt.com.sg/tenders/invitations.asp

notice tender number: 7, 8 and 15. looks like they are going to buy new buses and further upgrading their existing buses on a large scale...

less new buses, more old buses. >.<

Upgrade the current fleet with a 22 seater bus?? I doubt that it will be on normal passenger service. More like private housing services.

With regards on upgrading buses, tenders for bus parts has always been appearing on the papers. This is more like stocking up for their maintainance department. Its not something rare to begin with.

probably for their premium services.

Wah, tender for maintenance/repair of Turbochargers for buses, tender for air bellows and tender for level adjusting valves for buses. Nice.

the 22-seaters should be to replace the Coaster’s.

Minibuses usually have a shorter lifespan than full-sized ones, and some of the pioneer buses in Bus Plus have been around since at least 10 years ago. As it is, a number of them are quite cui liao =P

CS Pang SG

SMRT should had continue wif CSS 608 route operations until the Nissan bus reached their 17 yrs lifespan Rolling Eyes

Agree agree

CS Pang SG

i be surprised if theyre gonna put volvos in the list.. why smrt dun like volvos?

Volvos are SBS favorities

CS Pang SG

TIB1258A onwards I suppose.

Anyway TIB1248D-TIB1257C (1st batch of CSS buses to be transferred to SMRT) was registered somewhere in September 2004, just a few months after SMRT took over from Tibs.

CS Pang SG

SMRT says mid 2008, to replace Nissan buses on Zaobao

日产 was mentioned

That means Nissan will be gone forever?

Think Bus Plus are interested in this while other possible option is the new Sprinter Low floor 20 seater Minibus
