I would love to know what you think of Volvos 5.1 ltr 240bhp, 671lb ft torque for the B9TLs replacement the B5TL then.

In addition to that The wrightbus streetdeck & optare metro decker have a mercedes 5.1 ltr 228bhp, 663lb ft torque engine.

But they haven't got the issue of turbocharging. When ADL talk about reliability, who s ADL's biggest buyer? Stagecoach! ADL are talking about reliability in terms of your typical Killi to Chapel House or North Walbottle; not your Ashington to Newcastle, Hexham to Newcastle, Berwick / Alnwick to Newcastle, Newcastle to M.Boro or M.Boro to Scarborough.
