Re: EURO 6 conversion


You could be correct, but why not say so, or at least that the project is not available, rather than not responding to enquiries ? Not very good customer relations for a company the size of Cummins, or is this market just not worth worrying about as it is too small ?

My bus number (if any): RM1368

Re: EURO 6 conversion

As you say, it is a neat conversion with the ad blue tank on the nearside behind a budget lock flap, and the exhaust utilising the offside life guard space. Under the bonnet it is a work of art the way it has been done. In the cab, there are some strange gauges telling you various things. I don't particularly like the organ accelerator pedal, but I guess this is the ''drive by wire'' type. I understand that 1005 has had a new gearbox fitted by Allison, don't know which type. I took this bus to what was left of Yeading test centre to be certified as a Euro 6, and the Ministry man was impressed.

I remember RM 1562 with it's Euro 3 engine and different Allison gearbox,(270?). This also had an organ accelerator. Nice bus. Very popular on the 13 and 9H. What happened to that bus? I hope it is still around.
