Dennis Lance (UMW)

丹尼士长矛／领先 马来西亚制造 (都普·金屬) [Config : B37D]
This batch of 45 buses (including 3 PA-registered) were built by UMW-Dennis in Malaysia and bore strong resemblance, in particular the interior configuration, to the ones Triton, Causeway Link and other Malaysian operators have in service. First introduced in 1998, they originally used plastic destination signs but converted to Transit Media EDS a few years later.

Along with the UK-built Lances, they were the last buses in then Trans-Island to be bodied by Duple Metsec. Most were powered by the Cummins C245 engine (8,268cc) with 4-speed ZF 4HP500 transmission, though certain PA-plated buses under SMRT's chartering wing used the Cummins C211 variation. One unit went to the City Shuttle Service (CSS), and returned to SMRT Buses as TIB1257C when the subsidiary folded up. Almost all units were originally fitted with Sutrak air-conditioning.
