stooper SG Yeah, you don't hear the hub reductors clearly when accelerating. You only hear them when the bus is at top gear or when the bus is decelerating.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Ya notice that the hub reduction axle is very similar to those used on Actros tractors? New mercedes city buses such as the OC500LE and the Citaro no longer have this axle. They used a newer and a different one.
jetabt767400 SG I am really culeless, but does hub-reduct means kickdown in gear? If not then there is a mix up in my knowledge then, thanks.
Scania N113CRB luver SG Oh by the way, correct me if im wrong. The rear axles used on the Citaros are mand by ZF, known as the ZF portal axles.
