| New
pages have
now been added for the two China Life Insurance (Overseas) Ltd liveried
models (featured below) which are believed to have been issued back in
2014. Citybus ADL Enviro500 8190 (PP1750) on route 182 to Macau Ferry (CLIO-1) and New World First Bus Alexander ALX500 bodied Dennis Trident no. 1183 (JD1513) on route 101 to Kwun Tong (CLIO-2).
The latest two buses to be registered in Hong Kong are certainly different to the usual new vehicles!
Kowloon Motor Bus registered XV5838 on 8th February, this being the first of sixteen BYD B12 single-deckers, allocating it the fleet number BEB1. Meanwhile, the following day, Citybus used the previously allocated registration of HR3878 on Hong Kong's first electric double-deck bus, a Weisheit WSD6121BR1EV, allocating this fleet number 8910. 16th

Having announced the existence of this Asiaray 'Din Dong' model last month, I omitted to create a separate page for it. This has now been rectified and the new page can be found here. I am still unable to confirm the manufacturer of the model.

As it happens, another model that I failed to create a separate page for is pictured above and this was first mentioned back on the 26th June 2014! It features Citybus ADL Enviro500 8190 (PP1750) on route 182 to Macau Ferry and carries all-over advertising for China Life Insurance (Overseas) Ltd. I am grateful to Freddie Thornhill for sending me a selection of photographs of this model, which will be added to a new page shortly. A second model carrying the same livery was also mentioned, this being New World First Bus Alexander ALX500 bodied Dennis Trident no. 1183 (JD1513) on route 101 to Kwun Tong. A new page for this model will also be added shortly. The manufacturer of both models is unknown - unless you know different!
