The new Volvo B5RLE Hybrid is not only the most fuel-efficient
Volvo city chassis, thanks to the ability of running with the diesel
engine shut off, but it’s also reliable regardless of driveline
technology.
Volvo has taken a firm lead in hybrid technology, environmental
performance and reliability with over 1,000 hybrid buses sold
world-wide.
The Volvo Hybrid technology has proven to reduce CO2 emissions with 33 tonnes per bus at 70,000 km/yr.
According to independent reports from operators in major cities
globally, the hybrid product range has also proven to be No 1 in uptime.

Next the melted body fat techniques from the cellular through a short-lived pore made in the cellular membrane layer to help outside the cellular wherever it's in the interstitial place until finally assimilated with the lymphatic system. This results in an incredible number of body fat tissues turning into more compact thus ins tend to be diminished journey waist, sides in addition to lower limbs. The particular body fat tissues will not be harmed in the slightest by this technique. Get More Information....

The front is more like a mix of SBS7777Y + E400MMC bumper + bit of ASU design...
The side of the roof are black if look closely, which somehow follows bit of MAN Skyliner/Jumboliner style or like the National Express Caetano coaches in London...

Eww,230hp for a tri axles aircon DD is way underpowered unless it have more than 1600nm of torque.

Heard that it's an upgraded K-series engine, bus was said to be on its way to HK...

Nope.
There are dozens more that are more popular than KMB 2.

If that is true, then the Volvo B5RLE Hybrid would not stand a chance in Singapore.

We already see how many hybrid LE buses that SBST rejected so I'm not surprised the Volvo will get ditch too unless it's low floor

Volvo B5RLE not low floor meh?

The Volvo B5RHLE chassis uses a parallel hybrid system combining the electric and diesel engine. Compared to a conventional diesel bus, the hybrid utilises energy otherwise wasted during braking.
Add to that silent and emission-free boarding and take off, it’s a winner.
Are you ready to team up for green
efficiency?

At least not for the Australian Volvo B5RLE Hybrid units:
For hybrid double-decker buses, this is the latest Volvo B5LH (Wright Eclipse Gemini 3):
And the older Enviro400H in London:

Thank you for clarification...
Hybrid is very common in many countries, South Korea, Japan, China(Shanghai, Beijing), States, Europe...
OT:
SG is very slow in introducing Green technologies, still dare go China and show off in Tianjin Eco city when China is way ahead in terms of Hybrid public transport... Shame -
Have taken hybrid buses in London numerous times, very quiet pick up...

ShameYou are right, most domestic city buses rolling out of Yutong's factory is hybrid, some even offering natural gas option. This example below is an articulated natural gas hybrid bus:

China has mandated public transport vehicles go GREEN
SG as usual offer tokens of monies for GREEN TECH when next year UK is testing driverless trucks on expressways!
we are too slow and way behind the curve! -

B5RLEH is equipped with a normal hypoid rear axle, so the rear won't be fully low floor.
Volvo produces the B5LH instead with the same driveline equipped with a low floor portal axle, giving the full low floor as shown from examples by sgbuses.
The B5LH chassis has been used by volvo to build their own integral Volvo 7900 Hybrid, as well as the 10.4/5m DDs used in london.
