New Euro V engined Enviro500s - ATEU class |
| In a press release dated
28th February 2009, KMB announced that it had fitted a new Euro V engine
to Alexander Dennis Enviro500 ATEU1 (formerly ATE257), making it Asia’s
first double-deck bus with a Euro V engine. By effectively reducing the
emissions of nitrogen oxides, the Euro V engine meets the latest and toughest
emission standards in the world, contributing to a cleaner environment.
ATEU1 primarily operated on Route B1 between Tin Shui Wai Railway Station
and the Lok Ma Chau Railway Station. KMB's official Press Release can be
viewed here.
Nine further buses were delivered during July/August 2009. A noticeable difference between this new batch and previous Enviro500s is the glass offside emergency exit, as captured in the photograph below. A second batch, commencing with fleet no. ATEU11, began entering service in June 2010 |
