Volvo B10M (Mark II)
富豪B10M 第二型 (亚历山大/都普·金屬)
Following the 1986 trial of the Van Hool-bodied Volvo B10M demonstrator, in 1988 Singapore Bus Services made the first order of what would be a generation of Volvo buses for the 90s. Fitted with the Volvo THD101GC engine and ZF4HP500 4-speed automatic transmission, these buses would serve alongside with the Scania N113CRB fleet.
All 200 Volvo B10Ms were delivered non air-conditioned, and fitting of bodywork was divided up equally between Walter Alexander and Duple Metsec. For a couple of years these buses were assigned for cross-border service 170 to Johor Bahru. Half of these buses would eventually undergo refurbishment to be refitted with air-conditioning, continuing service until they were displaced by the Mark IIIs.
Following two decades of loyal service, the last of these buses were finally retired in 2008 and replaced by Scania K230UBs.
