Hybrid Streetlites - Very Powerful (Read 522 times)

[crossscythe]

I was on a Hybrid Streetlite earlier and it absolutely powered up Jenkin Road! Its engine sounded different to the Cummins engine on the 2013/14 models. Are the Hybrids fitted with a Daimler engine? I've never known a bus climb Jenkin Road with such ease. Even the B9s struggle up Jenkin. Very impressive.

They are Merc/Daimler yes, all the ones pre 2016 are Cummins. I’ve never caught one of those hybrid ones as a passenger, I drove one when they were just about brand new and thought it seemed decent but like I said it was a matter of weeks old and I was used to driving the older Cummins ones which are hit and miss from a power point of view
