mm very nice pcitures

tamago:
try to refrain in posting such bad pcitures:

1) the destination screen is obscured by what i call the reflection effect. one cna spot the reflection effect even before taking the picture in your viewfinder so if you do see the sky reflected very brightly in the viewfinder. you should just forget about taking the picture. even if you try , please try to position yourself so that the reflection from the sky DOES NOT obscure the bus number. i don;t think other bus ehtusiast in overseas contries find this effect troublesome . our tiny island hot tropicla la. al lot of sunlight pass thru the clouds lor.

2) due to motion effect i suppose the rego of the bus u got there is blurred.

fi you want to post pictures pls have a good standard like SBS9816E

however the 712 picture later is just fine =)

You can cook with it and heat your house with it. You may even power a car or truck with it. So what is it? ... natural gas. Like oil (petroleum), this common fuel comes from underground. However, natural gas, as the name implies, is a gas much like air, rather than a liquid like petroleum. It has been found to be one of the most environmentally friendly fuels, and its popularity is growing.

Natural gas is mostly made up of methane, about 95 percent of the natural gas in California. The other 5 percent is made up of various gases along with small amounts of water vapor. These other gases include butane, propane, ethane and other trace gases. Methane is a hydrocarbon, meaning its molecules are made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Its simple, one carbon, molecular structure (CH4) makes possible its nearly complete combustion.

2002 Crown Victoria - CNG Because of its clean burning nature and the fact that it is not made from petroleum, as gasoline and diesel are, many automakers around the world are developing vehicles to run on natural gas. Cars, vans, buses and small trucks generally use natural gas that has been compressed (called compressed natural gas or CNG) and stored in high-pressure cylinders.

Several vehicles are available today (such as the Honda Civic CGX above and the Ford Crown Victoria to the right) that operate on compressed natural gas. Some run on natural gas only and others can run on natural gas or gasoline (called bi-fuel vehicles).

i still think this doesnt answer ur question much. Laughing

The engine noises are still there, only that instead of being middle up-front (like on the B10M) this case it's positioned @ the extreme rear like majority other buses nowadays.

From the engine sounds, it appears to be diesel-cum-natural gas hybrid vehicle.
The noisy transmission as usual.

I find the suspension ride comfort better than on the Scanias but not up to the 'ultimate polished class' standards as on the O 405 or O 500 also the Volgren bodywork showing their usual irritating cracking noises, like on the Duple Metsecs & Alexanders although in lesser instances !! Not up to Hispano standards.
