SBS Transit trials Volvo Volgren 12-metre single decker
-
From facebook, sources say that this new CDGE bus from Australia is in an unknown SBST depot, i think HGDEP and SBS Transit is planning to trial this new bus. No more KUBs and Citaros only as our Single-Deck wab fleet! 我国的公共交通系统ä¸�æ–改進，新æ�·è¿�SBS的巴士车队ä¼�，éš�ç�€æœ‰æœ€æ–°æ¬¾å¼�的推出啦ï¼�最新款å¼�的豪å�Žç‰ŒVOLVO巴士…室内以è“�色的桌椅为主题ï¼�
However the door cock is below the bumper, which bcs need to bend down and press the door cock button..
Newest bus model of Volvo, the seats are blue as the theme. I think the bus model is Volvo B5RHLE...
New addition to join SBS8030L !

It seems that this is the bus model:
According to wikipedia, it seems that this bus is already here, on service.
except this is not in Volgren bodywork.
-
I think not B7RLE leh ? The source said that it's Volvo's newest bus model..
-
the bus inside same as kub not the one use in 170 but the last batch of kub or oc500le. and hopefully don't rock like one. citaro is better only things is the sitting area and the air-con cannot adjust like kub or DD. it seems like air-con blower cannot be adjusted and one sit near the door is face each other like smrt man bus. also inside look a bit like smrt oc500le merc
-
i dun like citaro cause the engine at the back is damn hot and also dont forget the chunk of black smoke emitting out of it's exhaust pipe. Also the aisle is very narrow + the back seat got one very big thing jaga the place
-
I am guessing its a hybrid bus.
-
The interior looks like our kub euro 5 but good thing that it is more modern.
-
Its Volgren Volvo B5RHLE, the very first demonstrator unit... Transperth #2245 is the 2nd unit demonstrator with slightly different interior...
-
This demonstrator is the one on roadshow last year or the year before...
The links are below...See the blue butt-rest near the Entrance? It's exactly the same as the one inside depot currently... The frontside bumper sticker is the same as well, only applies to this bus...

Hmm Volvo Australia have B8RLE?
-
This bus was exhibited at the Australian Bus & Coach Show 2013, and was rumored that it was destined for Singapore, but there were no further news about it anymore until now.

Blue interior I guess is coz bus wont stay with SBST for long
LTA theme colour is blue too
-
Optimus body?
-
Volgren CR228L body... Maybe Optimus if they buy...
-
To be exact, it is 11.4m.
216hp 5 liters diesel engine with a 94hp (161hp max) electric motor, coupled to a 12 speed gearbox. -
This is the SECOND of three Volvo B5RH Hybrid buses built in Dandenong, Victoria, Australia by Volgren. The first unit became Transperth (2245). The third unit became Torrens Transit (1901).
-
Isn't this the 1st unit since it appeared on roadshow way before Transperth 2245?

TP2245 was introduced in Feburary 2013. The unit that was exhibited at the last Australia Bus and Coach Show was held at Sydney in late September 2013.

Definitely not. Transperth (2245) was in build in 2012. Additionally, it was the only unit built with a 3-unit air-conditioning system which was later replaced with a single unit, involving some major structural work to the body.

TP2245 not built at Malaga meh?
-
11.4m?Might not interest SBST with our high populations unless they intend to use it for svc 11,42,317 etc..
