Mark 1 Metrobus on CNG

Probably old news but still, a good watch.

Looks pretty nippy as well

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Glad you enjoyed the video, I was actually heavily involved in this project and was lucky enough to take it on it's inaugural test drive. It's definitely a very fast bus in it's current configuration, and great fun to drive.

I presume you were the gent in the video? Are you're American?

I expect you'll load up this open-topper in 'parking lot' (to turn the phrase) as having the door on the correct side could cause confusion I expect haha.

Do you have the full history to this vehicle and can I have some exterior pictures? (I'll allow you to upload direct to our forum)
