  It is clearly a MAN A22 with a ZF 6-speed gearbox. Stop spouting nonsense and mislead others.

  I mean it whistles much more than other MANs, can be heard once the SLs steps on the accelerator until the retarder kicks in.

  Anyway, SMB3004E has a louder air release sound when it applies its parking brake and closes the front door.

  There's still a tender regarding the sale of de-registered/scrapped buses which includes the Scanias.

  SBS6099C has poor engine performance, perhaps from too much flooring of accelerator. You no longer feel the 'push' when the driver floors the accelerator.

  Total and utter misinformation, the SMRT MAN NL323Fs (A22) are powered by the twin-stage turbocharged (different from being twin turbocharged) MAN D-2066 LUH-32 engine with a 6-speed  ZF Ecolife 6AP 1700B, and not with a Voith transmission. The whistling comes from the twin-stage turbochargers of the D-2066 LUH-32 engine, which is very prominent (and lovely). Other turbocharged buses such as the O405Gs have whistling too but they sound different and much softer.
