I think the cost can also be due to the fact that the bus body is full aluminum, rather then aluminum+fiber Glass.
The bus body of all American E500s is full aluminum?
Besides, I'd also like to ask where are the exsisting American E500s finished in? Yes, most of the panel is aluminum, the existing E500 is made in UK, but with parts made in US/ or US spec.

一部NewFlyer D60LF, 以一張20-30架訂單, 每部都最少65-70萬.
題外話: 第一架E500H都已經投入服務啦. 係之前APTA參展的一台, E500H 12.8米版, 而家成為BC Transit 9527, 配屬當然係卑詩首府 - 維多利亞 (Victoria) 原帖由 小早川優 於 2009-4-7 03:26 發表 http://www.hkitalk.net/HKiTalk2/images/common/back.gif不過以當地嘅物價指數來講未必貴得去邊...話時話其實北美嘅E500係咪喺當地製造架？我聽聞過E500係"Buy America Compliant". 暫時所有北美的Dennis, Transbus同埋Alexander Dennis的產品都係英國原廠製造, 而且係CBU (completely build-up) 運去美加.
Community Transit要咁耐可能係因為批車會係美國出廠.
