Maybe only 4 KUB for Service 5. Laughing But still KUBs are suitable for shorthaul/feeders and possibly the high demand like 66.

Hi all. i just took the K230UB for the first time and was really pleased that the ride was very comfortable.Unlike the 0405 mercs and the N113CRBS that ply service 57, the engine is very vocal in accleration. The brakes were strong and powerful.

1) What brakes does the bus have? it is powerful

2)Is the engine a straight 6 diesel or inline 4 turbo?

3)What is the difference between the demo k230UB and the current batches of the 230UB?

4)Is the bus equipped with a ZF or a Voith Gearbox?

5)I understand that the bodywork is by Gemilang.Is SBS8030L bodied by Gemilang as well?

6)Are the K230UBs replacing the N113s and the 0405 on Svc 57?

Thanks!

2) Inline 6-cylinder diesel with turbo.
3) Bodywork.
4) ZF 6HP502C. (:
5) SBS8030L is bodied by Soon Chow Singapore. SBS8031J and all the Scania's including SBS8033D are bodied by Gemilang.
6) Yes.

SBS 8215K is far away from 57.

1. All-wheel disc brakes instead of drum brakes (as used on older buses) means more powerful (but sudden/rough) braking performance.

2. The K230UB has a 5-cylinder inline turbocharged, intercooled diesel engine with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) that displaces 8.9-litres (Scania model DC9).

3. Bodywork is by Gemilang.

4. Transmissions is ZF-Ecomat 4 (model 6HP 504C) - the latest generation of Ecomat transmissions designed to mate with the newest Euro 4 and Euro 5 engines.

Regards,
Dave
