| The model
- Having made the significant success of its cnbus 1010 model, Creative
Master Northcord Limited has proudly released its latest example of the
newly re-tooled Sunwin model, cnbus 1013. It is carrying the standard
Shanghai
Ba-Shi Group livery.
cnbus 1013
features the new CNG (compressed
natural gas) tank on the roof of the well known Shanghai Sunwin
casting.
It has the “rabbit ear” style rear-view mirror as featured on the early
cnbus series models. The rear dome and deeper engine access door are
further
notable modifications to the original cnbus 1000 range casting.
Shanghai Ba-Shi
Group is the biggest bus
operator in Shanghai and it has a substantial fleet of Sunwin
SWB6115Q-3
CNG buses. The chassis and body were developed by Shanghai Sunwin Bus
Corporation
and it has an environmentally friendly engine that is able to meet the
emission standard of Euro3. The CNG buses were specially designed for
the
“Green City”.
cnbus 1013
represents fleet number GK-111
and it is featured running on route 90. The model features the more
modern
Sunwin Corporation logo on its front dash panel.
The cnbus 1013
model is limited to 1000 pieces
for worldwide distribution. They will be distributed by John Ayrey
Die-Casts
Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), Transit Graphics
