Volvo B9TL (Euro V, Wright Eclipse Gemini 2)
富豪B9TL 歐盟五型 (Wright Eclipse Gemini 二型) "WEG2" [Config : H55/27Dw]
Already popular in Hong Kong and London, SBS Transit placed an initial order of 150 Euro V B9TLs as parts of its fleet expansion and renewal. Later on, it was followed up with a further order of 300 units. The bodywork was the second generation Wright Eclipse Gemini II that was supplied by Wrightbus of Ballymena, Northern Ireland. However, unlike other orders the kits were delivered in CKD (complete knock-down) form and then assembled by SBS Transit's technical counterpart, ComfortDelgro Engineering.
First introduced in late 2010, these buses were powered by the Volvo D9B310 EC06B engine (9,364cc) which is Euro V compliant with the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, requiring the use of Adblue. The initial 150 units, known as Batch One, were fitted with the 6-speed ZF EcoLife 6AP 1410B automatic transmission. The subsequent 300 units (Batch Two and Three) were fitted with 4-speed Voith DIWA 864.5 automatic transmission.
Air-conditioning was supplied by Carrier-Sutrak with electronic air filters. Batch One and Two received Hanover Displays EDS while Batch Three received LECIP EDS. The last 270 units, which form the Batch Three buses and registered in the 3000s range feature a full low-floor configuration on the lower deck.
