iveco SG What's wrong with vertical engines? Don't the DDs come with it? In fact, many car owners prefer the vertical engines over horizontal ones because it is less of a bitch to troubleshoot. Try troubleshooting a SUbaru motor and you'll know.
Scania SG I ask you ah, how to open engine hatch for car? and how to open for bus? Car and buses different lah, like apple and orange, different things.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Vertical engines usually requires a raised floor at the end of the bus to accomodate the engine height if the engine is placed longitudinal, so to prevent this, the engine has to be placed at a transverse position, like the B9TLs, so as to enable a full low floor platform. Is the right? That's what i think, hope i dont mislead anyone.
MitEvolution SG sc auto and soon chow are located in senoko.They are two different coach builder hino japan design sc auto new design Isuzu euro 3
The_Bus_Guide SG Yes, the Citaro can climb hills. I rode one in Switzerland, up the Zugerberg. Well, at least half way up, anyway. You need to transfer to the funicular railway to reach the summit. The Citaro is not limited to cities only. They work equally well in the suburbs too.
off_service SG When I was in Germany, I saw a Citaro zipping around some village like areas. So yes, I agree with The_Bus_Guide with the capabilities of Citaros on suburb routes.
Scania SG Originally posted by MitEvolution: [b]sc auto and soon chow are located in senoko.They are two different coach builder hino japan design sc auto new designThe new design is called SC Chivalrous. It has an Irizar front, and looks similar but different from an Irizar (some famous Spanish coach builder), especially the rear, which is completely different from the Irizar.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Irizar is very famous when bodied to Scania, therefore the name Scania Irizar.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Erh, transverse is the position of the engine , say longitudinal(seen in RWD cars) and transverse (seen in FWD cars). LO3x have vertical engines, but engine placed in transverse position(meaning engine is placed parallel with the axles), just like the B9TLs, VO3x and so on. B10Ms have horizontal engines, but placed in longitudinal postion(meaning engine is placed perpendicular to the axles). Merc O.405 if im not wrong is placed in longitudinal position too, with a horizontal engines(OM447h/hA/hLA, whereas the "h" stands for horizontal").
SBS351M SG wah you and your partner scania love to hao lian your technical skills is it? Where you get tech skill one? I tot you skooling? from website is it?
Scania N113CRB luver SG Im also not related to Scania in any ways. Actually i got all this sources from wikipedia, and some encyclopedias that i have.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Btw anyone seen those King Long city bus pics? I've seen some of them and its really nice. The interiors are designed until like european style, most importantly, its very bright! The engines they use Cummins, confirmed, not Cumming, Cunning whatever. But i dont think they have a EuroIV bus yet. Maybe SMRT may consider buying CNG King Long buses? Cause i think buying CNG King Long buses isn't a bad idea, alot of Cummins CNG powered vehicles are in use, over 1000. Im beginning to favour CNG buses now. The most important question now is, is the bus suspension good anot? I found out that King Long uses a mix of leaf-spring and Pneumatic spring suspension, not full air.
off_service SG It's not a question of good suspension or what. What matters is that the operation costs for the current CNG buses are 20% to 30% higher than diesel operated buses.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Oh ok, but what if its diesel-powered? Then does suspension comes into question? Hmm.... Btw if diesel-powered buses are preferred, think King Long will be out. Cuz it only satisfies EuroIII standards i think, if im not wrong. EuroIV are really strict, EuroV even more strict. Now only got Japanese buses, Scania and Mercs.
