| The model
- this is the third Centroliner to be released by NP
Model and it carries the pearlescent green livery applied by Kowloon
Motor Bus in 2001.
I believe the model was released around 25th October 2019. Being
an unlicensed
product it carries no
fleetnames or logos, however, these are included for the purchaser to
apply.
The
bus
- Kowloon
Motor Bus placed an initial order for 20 Neoplan N4026 Centroliners and
the first arrived in Hong Kong in September 1998. This bus was
allocated Fleet No. AP1 and registered HY 1677. The
Centroliner
is a 12-metre low-floor double-decker and like the Dennis Tridents, is
powered by a Cummins M11-305E engine.
After
a series of trials, the Centroliners entered service on 1 August 1999.
The first route that these buses were allocated was 296C, which runs
between Sheung Tak in Tseung Kwan O and Tonkin Street in Sham Shui Po.
By mid 2003, over 160 such vehicles were in the fleet.
