Darts for Kowloon Motor Bus. These vehicles are 10.4m in length and are
fitted with two Ventura doors. KMB have also specified a six-cylinder
EEV engine and Voith transmission to cope with the steep gradients and
high passenger loadings experienced in Hong Kong. The buses have 28
Lazzerini Practico seats, allowing up to 34 standees. Denso
air conditioning is fitted and one feature this provides is an “air
curtain” over the doors, thereby maintaining the interior environment
