Sounds like the O405NH CNG buses from Transperth!

J'adore le râle de la boîte ZF au freinage-ralentissement.
An observation, the transversal tube at the both 1st window after the front door / driver area. Certainly to help the structure to support the weight supplement of gas tanks.

Ooh I like this a lot 😍

[@ryanrnsmith]

A very common bus in Sydney, particularly in the late 2000s. I always thought they were a gutless bus with poor gear changes, this one seems to be doing alright with no passengers. Nice video.

Depended on how they were tuned, as the tune was not computer controlled.

This one sounds nice, nice hub sounds too

A bit Allisonised..

Wow, this one wasn't locking up the torque converter!
