- [High Quality Video] - This is a 1987 ( not 1989 ) Neoplan AN440A-3. This bus has a Detroit Diesel 6V92TA DDEC engine & a 3 speed Allison V731 transmission. This bus was retired from the SCRTD/LACMTA fleet in 2001.
MAN< I wish that Neoplan will return for production.
DAMM!!! You was flooring it! lol i like the way it sounded when you was making them turns.
yes it was. from what I remember, I think it was a 102A3 with a DD8V71
@knightclassic1 - they retired these around 2001-2002
I wish Chicago CTA or Pace had Neoplans.
They closed their production in 2006. I believe New Jersey Transit, Boston MBTA or Bee Line NY has the last orders of Neoplan Artics.
And Neoplan is no longer in business due to that. Right now, they're only making parts for Neoplan buses until about 2021 as required.
I remember riding these buses on the D18 express lines like the 439, 444, 445. Once in a while, you'd see one on the 446/447 ... and even the 60 line. Those were the days. I believe this particular unit spent the last days out of Division 9.
A curiosity....although the v730 is listed as a three speed, there's a stretch where I can hear three distinct up-shifts, which in some instances would be indicative of a four speed. Is there a "hidden" gear in the v730, or are my ears playing tricks on me?
What would be way cooler is if this bus had a take off similar to Long Beach #9317 mixed with the deep, mean yet smooth rumble of that exhaust pipe.
Pittsburgh has the last order. December of 2005 was the last order of Neoplan artics delivered.
sounded great too
Dude, you were damn sure bobble-heading at around 1:38; apparently, that section of road is (as some say) "geeked up".
LACMTA used to have a lot of diesel Neoplans from 1983, 84, and these ( '87 )
haha man you are waaay overdue. Youve been in NYC too long man. Cant wait for your arrival. Thanks for the comments.
Drivers with physical impairments which affect their ability to safely operate CMVs according to their medical examiners, or with missing limbs (e.g., a hand or finger, an arm, foot or leg), are required to obtain SPE certificates. How did you get a SPE
