I can confirm that NWS Holdings Ltd. has placed an order with Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL) for 38 Trident chassis (18 x 12 metre and 20 x 11 metre). The 12 metre chassis are for Citybus and the 11 metre chassis for NWFB. The 12 metre chassis arrived in Hong Kong this week and all have been loaded onto trailers. As mentioned below, 4 trailers are presently stored at Citybus's Fo Tan Depot whilst the others are believed to be various other locations.
All 38 chassis will be sent to Wuzhoulong Motors in Shenzhen for the assembly of the Enviro 500 body. Presently, the first 18 chassis are awaiting the arrival of the containers carrying the body sections. These buses are modified versions of the Enviro 500, but it is not known whether ADL have a new name for the bus. It is rumoured that the front and rear ends have been changed. What is known is that the staircase is not straight, being a 'bent' layout, similar, I believe, to the Dublin Bus Enviro 500s. Another noticeable difference in the chassis is the position of the oil tank. Previously, all the Trident chassis in Hong Kong (including ALX500, Enviro 500 & Duple Metsec bodies) feature the oil tank under the stairs. However, the new chassis has two separate tanks, one of the left side and the other on the right side. The Citybus vehicles are believed to be for Cityflyer routes, with dual door layout and with luggage racks. My special thanks to Dennis of Hong Kong for providing the above information.
NWS向ADL訂左38架E500(Trident底盤)
- 城巴18架Cityflyer: 雙門12米, 底盤已到, 正等待車身組件, 將運往深圳砌
- 新巴20架: 11米, 底盤應該未到
全數38架由深圳五洲龍負責裝配新款E500車身, 據悉車頭車尾有新look, 暫未知會否改名。
這批車油江一分為二, 重新佈局, 配曲梯。
報告完畢。

強烈反對E500被E400同化!!!

全數38架 ...
終於D巴士公司知道直梯都係中看不中用架啦~
減位不得止
乘客安全程度亦唔見得有咩保障
好期待呢批新車身會有新既面孔啦~ |

連E300都改頭換面 E500邊可能走得甩0丫...
18架預期俾城巴機場快線
計落十一架亞記會「率先」掟出0黎
仲有七個位喎...
20架十一米 會換幾多DA,LA走呢...
(計落換唔晒剩餘LA+DA) |

估唔到真係替批 flyer .... 而且用曲梯 ...
甘批中樓梯應該出番市區行隧道線 ...
而 flyer 就出黎行 e 線 ~ ....
最正路係甘 ~
至於新巴 , 估唔到入 enviro500 11m ... 第 1 次 ... 會唔會用黎行 970 / 970x 同 23 ??
仲有唔知年底有冇機係五洲虫搵 2 架 e400 黎香港俾新巴同城巴試 ??
宜家運架 e400 黎成本平得多 ~ ... 只要運吉批應該冇咩問題 ... |

呢一批 38 架 ... 下一次又可以再換 ... 因為新城之前講過 2010 年前會換唔知 200 定 300 架 ...
計左呢批 , 年底佢都係得
城巴 10 架 + 20 架 = 30 架
新巴 18 架 + 18 架 = 36 架
基本上有 70% 機會用 e400 頭尾 , 因為方便五洲虫裝 e400 同 e500 ..

買得11M,
相信都係用黎行970/970X,
23而家都有TRIDENT行啦~
不過奇怪在第一批車又唔用曲梯要第二批先改!? |

可能順便係五洲虫時先一併開新既組件 ....
之前果 38 架都係全九巴 style ....
唔知城巴係唔係用編號 8000.-8019 ,
而新巴就真係唔知用幾多lu ... 正常就係 5400-5417 ( 因為 10xx , 11m version 都係 14xx ) , 不過 54 唔好聽 , 用 58 都有可能 ~ ... 其實 5500-5517 根本一早應該用 7000-7017 , 甘宜家就可以用 7400-7417 .. |

你說的也是,
不過我覺得970/970X較適合行十一米車,
情況有點似當年城巴40/40M也是行十二米龍般,
直至9XX落地. |

可能只係 Cityflyer 既佈局 + 直梯
真係少位得滯先會配曲梯
應用返係普通巴士可能都仲會繼續直梯...... |
