Nice! I'm wondering though... Some ZF Euro 6s sound slightly different. Is it to do with the length (with London's averaging around 10.2) or is there slight differences in gearbox? Or do we have Allison instead? I've never quite been able to distinguish Allison from ZF...
So far London's Euro6 E200s seemed to be anything but 10.2m (8.9/9.6/10.8), the gearbox is the same old semi-automatic AS Tronic Lite hated by drivers lol. They do vary by length and bus behaviour, that's for sure. e.g S4's (first models on ZF for London) were very violent, 201/407's longer ones had the effect reduced to some effect e.g 322/G1's ones are far more sophisticated than S4's whilst being the same length You can distinguish Allison from ZF by the jerk/overrevving which Allison ones generally don't do, and slower gear changes (for being a semi-auto rather than a full auto)
LondonBuses2 Yeah, because something like the 112 sounds slightly different, but I assume it's about the same length. Whenever I take that bus, it never seems to overrev... But idk. I'm bad at classification of buses. x)
Didn't expect these ZF's to be more sophisticated than the ones I'm used to, oh well lol
Managed to get 70 out of one of these when I did it up from Brighton on a very wet day!
Must've had a mental driver then!!! Needless to say these do get up to very high speeds, good on Metrobus for getting these for the 270!
Now converted to Allison 2000 or something like that.
I hope the Hong Kong bus companies will order more of these E200 Dart SLFs from Alexander.
Fantastic Video
👍👍👍

Dani These ones had a massive mod done to the in order to them to be able to work Routes that are 80% up hill

HHE Transport Oh okay.

Dani 112's E200s are on Allison, DEL2062/3 apparently being experimental ones using stop-start tech.
APRROVED!!
That sound like enviro200mmc
That's because they both have the same Euro rating (Euro 6) and plus the E200 MMC is the newer version of the E200.
