Volvo Olympian 2-Axle

富豪奧林比安／奧林匹克10.4米非空調 (亚历山大)
These 10.4m Volvo Olympians are the last non-conditioned fleet of public buses in Singapore. They were purchased by SBS Transit in an era where air-conditioned buses were considered a luxury, and travellers were conscious about the choice of operators alternating between air-con and non air-con buses. (This method was subsequently brought over when WABs were introduced)

While single-deckers could be easily converted to air-con, it is impossible for double-decks due to the sheer weight of the new air-conditioning unit, the precise reason why all air-con double-deckers are 3-axle vehicles. A hundred of them were purchased, fitted with the Volvo THD102KF engine and the Voith DIWA 851.2 3-gear automatic transmission. They have now been largely confined to serving Jurong Industrial services, such as this one.

Two such Olympian have been re-exported to Metroline where they saw brief service in London.
