On 15th July 2024, Can you make a Video of the Used Vehicle Test Drive Enviro400 Euro5 Voith (With a Voith Gearbox) please because I've already watched the Wrightbus Pulsar Gemini 2 with a Voith Gearbox so can you make the video of it Please?
The Enviro400 Bus is my favourite type of bus but not the Enviro200 because it has 1 or one deck. I like the Enviro200 Bus but the Enviro400 is one of my favourite type of bus.
This bus is ex-Arriva Bus (A DB-Company) and the Gearbox (Transmission) is Voith. Wrightbus Pulsar Gemini 2 with a Voith Gearbox looks the Stagecoach one, I like it.
And I do have a question here about the coach buses in Europe is there a reason why they couldn't be like North America torque converter transmission. Because they use the same style as a lorry Automated manual transmission
The team that came up with this blurb needs a kick up the arse. “Kilowatts per hour” not a thing “Rare metals such as cobalt and nickel” again not a thing. Those aren’t “rare” metals, they’re extracted quite easily. Nickel has been used for centuries and still primarily gets used to make Stainless Steel. They’re also not “rare earth elements” as defined in the periodic table.
Hopefully TfL helps them with the design. That forehead. 😱 ugly. And if that’s already had TfLs input, please remove the caveman look before production.
I had a feeling that BYD buses built for Europe would soon come to the UK market and I was right. But Ebusco and Switch Mobility have gone quiet with UK market
How low before the battery catches fire ? The BYD electric battery buses in London had to be recalled because they were considered dangerous when the batteries caught fore. Absolute Chinese Rubbish.
This is pure and simple LIE. ALL PSVs have to be safety certified. There have been no announced recalls of electric busses. It just hasn’t happened otherwise the scaremongering press would have been all over it. Just like recent airport fires (not EV btw). The only busses taken out of service was some coaches in France as I recall, can’t remember the cause AirCon or H2 but I don’t remember.
Thought BYD was the one with issues as its Alexander dennis bodied ones were taken out of service due to some fault. However, the one with issues were switch with their metrodecker ev DD's catching fire
Haven't heard to much about issues with the BYD electric busses, wright's are as bad such as hill assist sometimes it's works but then can put the bus into limp home mode unless it's reset correctly.. along with countless other issues!
@@anacondadoh-victoriousii sadly not even their diesel busess are just as bad small things like fuses to engine issues so not quite as good as wrightbus makes themselves out to be!
@@LJ07EBP Cheap labour, nothing to do with intelligence, though they do have a history of copying other peoles ideas. Check out Top Gear episode showing s%#t knockoff BMW X5 and Minis. Not to mention the billions of tonnes of eBay crap.
@@hamburger7478 bro, honestly i see what you mean. For me, its mainly the front thats ugly. The rear looks clean. What makes the front ugly for me is the overuse of black paint that wasnt necessary there. Remember this bus is a prototype so the final product which you will see when batches start getting built might look abit better.
God this particular one puts our ones in Hull to shame. Ours are with East Yorkshire and are all the same batch, fleet numbers 901 to 910. All have been converted for diesel running (non hybridised) and all have rather peculiar issues including overheating and being some of the slowest moving vehicles in service but I suppose that's what happens when you try and move 11 tonnes with only an 145hp generator engine.
11:31 these noises right here are just too good and here's one fact this is more like a musical bus 😂 but please someone tell me the name of thoes noises are and btw it's not the Indercator sound
They’re Artificial Warning sounds, that are placed in the front of electric buses, to warn people of an incoming bus since those electric buses were too quiet, and it was only there due to a EU law in 2020

I watched the making of the Enviro 400 and it was just nuts! 67kg windscreen held in totally by its bonding sealant. This channel has always been superb in its presentation and it’s what got me into buses and OMSI 2 property
The olympian, last of the proper double deckers, like the Nationals for single deck. The olympians used round us were Gardner + semi-auto, our National 2s having TL11 +semi. Changing gears also became a dying art after these. Easier in traffic nowadays for the driver but much less fun, although I'm not sure I would like to go all the way back to crash boxes. Give me syncromesh or semi auto every time.
