PRESS RELEASE 1st February 2010
Having made the significant success of its cnbus 1015 replica, Creative Master Northcord Limited has proudly released its second Sunwin / Volvo B7R model of a bus working in Shanghai Pudong New Area, cnbus 1016. It is carrying the brand new standard white / blue Shanghai Pudong New Area Public Transport Company livery.
cnbus 1016 represents fleet number S2C-153 (registration A K7095) and it is featured running on air-con tunnel route 3.
Its route also serves across the heart of Downtown Shanghai and the tourist hot-spot of People’s Square where tourists can enjoy the magnificent sights of the varying styles of architecture, can shop in Shanghai No. 1 Department Store and can enjoy walking along Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street with its colourful displays of banners and flowers in addition to the famous shops.
cnbus 1016 features the new style of driver rear-view mirror, replacing the “rabbit ear” style, previously replicated on cnbus models. Shanghai Pudong New Area Public Transport Company is retrofitting the newer style of mirrors to many older buses as this replacement style is less expensive to repair and to replace. The new style of mirror arm also includes the high-mounted door-step illumination indicator within the mirror arm on the nearside of the bus. The rear dome and deeper engine access door are further notable modifications to the original cnbus 1000 range casting.
Shanghai Pudong New Area Public Transport Company Ltd was established on 28th December 2008 and is the biggest bus operator in Shanghai Pudong New Area. The Company is owned by the government and it is operating 219 routes in Shanghai, mainly in Pudong New Area.
Bus Enthusiasts, who wish to enjoy the multi-coloured sights of the buses in Shanghai, should hurry to make their visit soon. Under the plan only two liveries will be normal in Shanghai on local service buses in future - the brand new standard white / blue Shanghai Pudong New Area Public Transport Company, and the multi-green and white of Ba-Shi Group.
cnbus 1016 features excellent detailing, inside and out. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and application of the standard Shanghai Pudong New Area Public Transport Company livery on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible on the white / blue paint. In particular, the model features the special banner at the top of the front windscreen that advertise the big event of 2010 – the Shanghai Expo 2010. The model has no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together.
The cnbus 1016 model is limited to 336 pieces for worldwide distribution. They will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), Transit Graphics (Australia), cnmycar.com (P.R. China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively.
