Now in Thailand these buses service in route 167 538 and 545
some buses were modify in Rangsit garage(the northern Bangkok 30 km.) I think these bodies from here aren't nice(beauty)
some buses were modify in Banpong garage (the western Bangkok about 70 km.) I'll go here in 8th Dec.
This engine is modify from full Diesel engine to semi CNG/NGV+Diesel engine (2 fuels system)
in the next time I'll take photo here.

No,Gear transmission is automatic gear same when in Sg.

In Th. ...Before these buses from Sg. BMTA has MB O405 (engine:OM447) 38 Buses since 1993
this engine is same O405 DM/WA in Sg,but it was modify to semi NGV+Diesel engine same technique now.(I don't know about engine well
)speed limit 70 Km/H. but the bus driver doesn't speed limit
Highest Speed 80 Km/H. on Express way in Th.

Good idea,Now at least we can see our fav retired buses get a new life there beside Cambodia and Indonesia
,MKI Hispano bendy should go there too. -
SMRT ELBO...wonder which one :o
-
Scania Elbo is only one citybus in Thailand and not use it.
Engine was withdraw.
Seat in it shape same Higer,but stronger than Higer bus in Th.
-
Put engine in bus.It's heavy weight!!!
Aircon.bus.
I like "SUTRAK". in Th. Sutrak give very cold in ISUZU aircon. citybus ,ever if this citybus is old over 10 yrs.
If I have free time,I will test ride Sg. bus for use SUTRAK aircon.

Test engine
Inside is a bit different when in Sg.
Emergency Exit on the roof is withdraw and replace with air-suck fan.
In Th. they say "a pair of seat is same red-cream BMTA non-aircon. bus."

This should be TIB836M from the bolded rego infront. Only TIB836M has the alphabet 'M' that can be distinguished from far. I can 90% guarantee its TIB836M.

I suspect from other than this ELBO, there is another ELBO from the first picture u posted on this page, which was wrapped up. A few differences can be seen. -

IT IS!!! In the 1st pic, the ELBO had a damaged Bumper. In the 2nd Pic, the bumper is fine!!!So we know that Ex-SG buses can be found in the UK, HK, Indonesia and Thailand?
-
Think some of the SMRT's Nissan UDs should also have been exported to Thailand as well. Instead of wasting the $$ refurbishing the Nissan UDs and give 2 more years extension.

Now,I found one ELBO in the garage and another one I don't sure. It is modifying body and changing engine?
In Thailnad. Scania doesn't use for citybus.

Seems like a lot of our buses end up overseas after serving their period here:
- SBS Transit's (then SBS) Volvo B57 to Ireland, where they became schoolbuses
- SBS Transit's two bendy buses, and Trans-Island's/CSS's Hispano-bodied DAF buses to New Zealand - the bendy buses are now used as schoolbuses
- SBS Transit's Volvo B10M MKII to Indonesia's Batam Island (if I remember correctly), now used as tourist buses?
- Several SBS-era double-decks to Hong Kong and China (with new doors fitted in China due to different driving sides there)
- And now, SBS Transit's MB O405 buses and a few of SMRT's Scania L113CRL ELBO buses to Thailand, to serve as citybuses in Bangkok
Did I miss anything?
