Hi all, SBS8302C is no longer the only Euro IV KUB with a new white Denso LD8u aircon unit (same as MAN A22). I have noticed a few other KUBs refitted with the new aircon unit.
List of buses spotted with new aircon units:
SBS8034B (SLBP 174)
SBS8042C (SLBP 183)
SBS8047P (SLBP SP)
SBS8056M (SLBP 174)
Not sure why SLBP is refitting these Euro IV KUBs with the new aircon units...
SBS8041E
I dont really know if its true but some sources say that the new ac unit consume less power than the old ones...Hahaha

That is correct. LD8i is 68 amp, while LD8u is 65 amp (both at 24V DC). The LD8u also has a higher cooling capacity.
No wonder,Especially with Scania lower output of 230hp/1050nm its wiser to change.
SBS8064P has it too. From the looks of it, SLBP is changing them in rego sequence, so it is likely that SBS8048L has also gotten it, can anyone check?

Yes 8048L got it.

You mean the A/C filter? Will need to check on one of the buses refitted with the new A/C units...
Add on 8041E too. It is probably due to the ac unit being less powerful in coldness. Some 80xx and couple of euro iv are having some issues
SBS8078A (SLBP 506) just got it too...

SBS8129L just got it, on 502 today...
SBS8113G (SLBP 51) spotted with the new aircon unit today on perm service...
SBS8127S (ARBP 16) just got a new (still in original white colour) aircon unit a few days ago... Got quite a surprise, could it hint for the KUBs under BBDEP/ARBP to get them soon as well?
Anyone check on SBS8077C, SBS8081P and possibly SBS8109U? Since BB/AR is starting to fit the new AC pods it seems like SLBP is done fitting their KUBs already.
A little update, SBS8030L had also gotten the new unpainted LD8u AC unit.
