I do think it should be down to the operator as to whether or not they want the fan belt on constantly. Wonder if Stagecoach would consider using ZF Ecolife Gearboxes (same as Arriva) for their interurban / rural routes though for any future orders.
Stagecoach have a long standing partnership with Voith so I doubt any ZFs will be in the Integral orders.
ZFs work better with the Cummins ISBe compared to Voiths though.
