The first 14.5m bus in NZ. Managed to get the coach (travelled on) on the Intercity link service between Hamilton and Auckland yesterday. Fully automated transmission. Here are the details.
Ritchies 433 Scania K400EB rego HFD233
Guess it won't be long before we see more 14.5's coaches and buses throughout NZ.
