I do practical the most not theory..Talk until mouth bubble also no point and this aint technical forum...k bye
if you dont knw what youre dealing with, you wont get the complete picture, and that makes discussions skewed/biased/whatever. im aware this isnt a technical forum, but if you guys actually know whats going on in the buses, whatever works (as is with my nick). apparently not.

2. The DSC9 is an Euro 3 6-cyl diesel engine, which is phased out in favour of the DC9 5-cyl engines circa 2005.
3. The torque curve of the DC9-19/30s peak at 1000/1100rpm respectively and sustain at 1050Nm till 1500rpm. The 'power delivery' i believe youre referring to is the torque that you experience when the KUB moves off. The power curve of the DC9s peak at ~1900rpm, but torque degradation after 1500rpm is particularly severe leading to a 'loss of breath' in the 1800-2100rpm range.
4. How do you know that the Citaro's peak power only comes in after 1500rpm and ends at 2300rpm? There is NO tachometer for you to verify the rpm of the OM906hLA engine!
5. The OM906hLA on the Citaro has a torque curve that peaks @ 1120Nm in the range of 1200-1600rpm. the power curve, on the other hand, peaks at 288bhp @ 2200rpm and is in no way significant till after 1600rpm.
You did some homework. Good.
But I thought K230UB Euro IV uses DC9 16 230 engine? (DC9 19 is Euro III)

Im not into technical dude,Like ive said im more to practical,Driving,Testing etc..Pardon if i sound offend to you but more or less techincal data is just another piece of paper.

It's better to know both the operational and technical aspects. They complement each other.
Yes there are times where you need to get your hands dirty to understand the practical difficulties, but there are times where only a manual can provide an accurate explanation to vague observations.

Understand but basic technical knowledge its enough for me..Action speak louder than words and i hope u understand to each his own.

There is no bad bus model.
