Had a little ride on the StreetDeck earlier from Eldon Square to Gateshead and was not all that impressed by it if I am honest, was quite slow and rattled a hell of a lot on this short trip, think the E400MMC is way better so I do hope that GNE Purchase these instead, On the flipside of the coin, I think the StreetDeck would be a lot better if it was fitted with the Micro-Hybrid Engine which the Streetlites have on the Red Kite etc, and set up to be the same as them performance wise so it could handle the route better.
Theres no Micro Hybrid Engine, Micro Hybrid is a system added to the bus when manufactured.
The 63 Plate Streetlites have the same 5.4 Litre Cummins ISB4 engine as in the Micro Hybrid Streetlites.
