Stagecoach 2016/2017 order
(17 Apr 2016, 4:34 pm)DaveyBowyer Do you think that the Scania chassis on the E400MMC bodywork will be the last 'heavy duty' decker to be produced on the market? Not dissing Streetdecks or ADL Integrals for that matter as particularly the later have proven themselves more than capable if well looked after and so should the former overtime.
mbonwick (source: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p='2527602&postcount=30) Scania are not flavour of the year - they refuse to fit electric cooling fans (instead insisting on belt driven ones) and were making noises about the modification program last year invalidating warranties. Plus Stagecoach were unwilling to keep paying for an external contractor to modify them.
Goes without saying that a demand-responsive fan leads to a noiceable fuel saving over one that's always on.
