Love to see a closeup look of the Alison controls how they operate, and can they be operated manually. Thanks for the video. It's nice to see it from the drivers point of view.
Nice video again, Nick! Today the day also Europe is overrun by quite a lot of (much cheaper) Chinese busmanufacturers ensuring that one of our biggest bus/coachproducers (on this planet) (Van Hool in Belgium) hit hard by these developments and nearly went bankrupt this month. Quality isn't the priority anymore, it's the (buying)costs that's far more important according to our bus/coachoperators which is a real shame, in my opinion. Greetings from Belgium where spring is gently kicking in after a extreme wet winter, Cheers Harald
Hi Harald, thanks mate, always appreciate your comments. I understand where your coming from and I think as you say sometimes quality or lack of vs price is a big factor. Over here there is a lot more of the mass produced coaches too, I think there is a place for them, an obviously a market for them , but still a lot of the traditional coach campanies here by the the European chassis and drive train and have the local nz bus builders do the body work . Seems to work well here .
