Automated Manual Electric Bus! Volvo BZL Demonstrator SG4007T on 990 [TTS]

[@notblue_]

This is actually one of the few electric buses which has a very nice exterior, compared to other electric buses on trial.

[@TransportationONLY]

Agreed! Most other electric buses have.. let’s just say, unique bumps and shapes. I think the only other good looking electric bus is the Yutong E12DD or what some may call a “Pandan Loaf” or a “Green Toaster”.

[@TransportationONLY]

@zionistnaziirl haha yes

[@SG1720L]

I love the engine! It sounds so melodic, although when I rode it the last time i did not hear it, so thanks maxson for getting the motor sound!

[@resketless]

Nice throwback video

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

It's very common to see SG4007T in Clementi recently, as it ran on 96/A/B today. It also usually runs on 282, but this video was a re-appearance on 990.

[@SyafikFikoIskandar]

good sounds

[@TheAuraSeraphim]

its pretty good Prototype Bus that motor very strong than Silencer Tesla :)

[@axan50transportproductions]

I miss when buses had normal sounding names like Volvo B10M or MAN A95.
Not Yutong LCK0i594753-53057250254857

[@janchristianursuaaguilar7434]

yeah why chinabus models starts with ZK61XX is hard to remember all of it unless you MEMORISE them

[@axan50transportproductions]

@@janchristianursuaaguilar7434 I guess no one memorises them, they simply look up the model names

[@SBS1899T]

China buses are actually easy to fathom
First 2 letters are manufacturer codes, XMQ, ZK, LCK etc etc
6 - means it's a bus
09 / 10 / 11 / 12 - the length
5 - the model number
Every letter after designates what version of that model
For example a Yutong ZK6126HGA
ZK - Yutong
6- bus
12 - 12 metres in length
6 - model number
HGA - low floor citybus

[@SBS1899T]

I mean if I ask you what the meaning of a 1990 Scania N113CRB you'd be equally confused

[@LaxMarch2022]

Chinese buses names are like wifi names

[@theleedsbusdriver]

Really need these over in England

[@glitchFan2428]

There's quite a few BZLs in England in service I believe although from what I know none so far have the two speed gearbox. I do like how it sounds when changing gear

[@theleedsbusdriver]

@@glitchFan2428 argghh Volvo need to make this happen

[@kojo8770]

Have them here now in London DD and SD version

[@theleedsbusdriver]

@@kojo8770 oh yh true actually just look different I guess

[@lukelee6421]

Hi Maxson! Is the Volvo BZL the first 3-door bus to use the SBS Transit Door Closing Chime in both its exit doors?

[@MrColinTheBusDriver]

Nice bus

[@AxelRaffasya]

Cool

[@GusBrawler]

I took SG4007T on days 3 and 4 of operation. Now, it only has about 2 months left…

[@AbdulmalikIdrees]

I wonder if Singapore will ever receive MCV EV bodied Volvo BZL Electrics.

[@T_vEg]

Why does the single decker version give the option of 2 motors but not with the double decker one? 536HP for a single decker would be mental, but 268HP for a double decker, that's an EV just isn't enough

[@glitchFan2428]

If I'm not wrong, both single and double have 2 motors totalling 286HP, but the option to switch between them is only available for the single decker? I'm guessing 286hp is adequate for a double decker since the B9TL comes with between 260 and 310hp

[@T_vEg]

@glitchFan2428 on their official website I saw a line of text saying that it has a electric driveline outputting no less than 550HP

[@glitchFan2428]

@@T_vEg ooo I see, I'm not aware of that. Seems like a lot of power for a bus!

[@ficothedepressed]

second
also those gears are banger

[@LaxMarch2022]

this cannot be all the bus debuters

[@ProHyperXD]

Imagine electric bus with 4 gears
