Re: Wrightbus decker
Thanks for the photo, that is very interesting - I wonder if it is the lightweight Wright intergral Streetdecker or a bodied normal chassis, such as a Volvo.
I also wonder if it is air conditioned and capable of being registered here - i.e. not over-width.

Yes this is the one that is parked at Prestige Hino in Dandenong Vic, along with two normals.

Hi Buswas, what do you mean with two normals?Buswas wrote:Yes this is the one that is parked at Prestige Hino in Dandenong Vic, along with two normals.
Do you mean there are three deckers parked at Dandenong?

Re: Wrightbus decker
Hi,
I agree that the usual width of Wright DD's is quoted at 2.52 mtrs. However in the ABC Magazine's website a 2017 Wright StreetDeck is advertised for sale with a quoted body width of 2.48 mtrs. - in that same area is a body height quoted of 3.15mtrs, not sure what that is supposed to mean???
I don't think the StreetDeck would would be viewed positively here with such a small engine 5.1lt Benz and torque of only 900nm's and driving an air-con as well!! I know that the StreetDeck is relatively light, but comments are made in the UK about the lack of power!

Tim,
The 3 units are one Double Decker and two single decks.
