Mercedes-Benz O405G (Hispano MK2)

梅斯特斯平治O405G型 掛接巴士 (西班牙 第二型) [Config : AB59T]
The second type of Trans-Island (now SMRT Buses) bendy bus was introduced in early 2000. The bodywork was of an updated version from Hispano Carrocera and featured considerable aesthetic improvements when compared to the pioneering batch of O405Gs. These buses had thicker seat cushions, more legroom, improved LED bus-stopping sign that could display time and messages and was fitted with Transit Media EDS, which had LED lighting behind each individual flip-dot that would appear clearly illuminated at night.

The engine and transmission for this batch of buses remained the same as the pioneering batch, powered by by the turbocharged Mercedes Benz OM447hA engine (11,967cc) that is Euro I compliant, and fitted with 4-speed ZF 4HP 590 automatic. Underfloor air-conditioning was supplied by Konvekta. A total of 29 units of this type were purchased by then-TIBS.
