The bus
- Kowloon Motor Bus ordered 30 short wheelbase
air-conditioned Dennis Dragons in 1993 and these were delivered between
August and December that same year. These featured Duple Metsec's
standard bodywork. Hong Kong legislation on vehicle axle weights made
it necessary for these short buses to be fitted with a third axle. A
further 115 examples (ADS31-ADS145) was delivered between February and
July 1996. A further batch of 40 (ADS146-ADS185) was delivered between
December 1996 and February 1997 and the final batch (ADS186 - ADS235)
was delivered between January 1999 and July 1999.
