[SIN] SBST orders 350 new buses

Hope to see that how the color of SBST matches with the Wright body

It has been announced in the volvo website that it will be Wright Bodywork.

Wright Bodywork single decker seems cool and will be another highlight for Singapore Buses.
What I just wonder about is what is the relationship bewteen SBS Transit and Volgren.
We had lots of buses using Volgren Bodywork, including the its parent company ComfortDegaloCabcharge. So why the new buses don't bodies with Volgren?

Maybe Wright can have a quicker delivery times, and prices etc..look like Volvo trying to push Wright to save Wright, as Wright almost close down without KMB and SBS Transit order.

Are you serious? Doesn't Wright have heaps of order of buses from UK companies which are way bigger order than KMB and SBS orders in quantity?

He was exaggarating. Yes Wrightbus was looking to make some of their workforce redundant earlier this year but they are far from having to close down.

There is something different from KMB order. One B9TL/Wright will be produced in UK.
The other 149s will be assembled in SIN (That means CKD).
KMB's order (60) will be assembled in UK (Ballymena).

If KMB did not shut down their assembly plant in Tune Mum, I think this order will be CKD too.
