Fleet / Re: 94 new Battery Electric Bu...
Last post by L94UBbusfan - December 05, 2025, 05:50:23 PMQuote from: triumph on December 04, 2025, 09:59:47 PMInteresting. So where did the Australian journey under its own power start, Brisbane? And they must have quite a bit of mileage on by the time they get here. Would be a tedious drive (presumably at about 80kph?).
It's an interesting question because when I rode 840 a week after it entered service it only had 1018kms on the odometer, which is less than the roughly 1200kms from the Yutong centre in Brisbane to Canberra. Perhaps they've changed the delivery method since the start of the year or the delivery of 901 was just a one off. Although from what I know most new buses are delivered to their final destination by road.

Last post by CBRFlyer - December 04, 2025, 11:17:28 PMQuote from: L94UBbusfan on October 25, 2025, 02:36:44 PMIf the final 8 Yutongs are delivered in numerical order, 895 will be the 100th electric bus delivered to TC (excluding trial buses 710-711 and 490, if they counted then 892 would've been the 100th). I wonder if 895 when it arrives will get a sticker or something saying "100th Electric Bus delivered to TC", similar to what 491, 600 and Renault 897 got, that would be a nice touch.
I would suggest that possibly 899 (100th Yutong) may be the celebrated bus if at all

Last post by Bus 400 - December 04, 2025, 05:55:37 PMWith a Facebook post of Bus 901 topping up at Taree, yesterday. I assume 901 is in Canberra today & as such the last of the 90 buses has been delivered.

I was lucky to ride 371 today which is sounding better than it was last time I rode it, but still nothing like how it sounded in June-August this year.
