  A MAN double decker with Gemilang body is reported for delivery to Hong Kong sometime in Oct - Dec.

   

  This bus is a low floor double decker, but is not for carrying public transport.

  Ordered by the Fire Department in Hong Kong, to train the public inside the bus how to escape during the fire in a very smoky conditions.

   

  The bus cost HKD$3.98 million

   

  Anyone know where Gemilang is, should take a trip for spying  the bus

  if the MAN really kena burn down during the training, losing the Gemilang bodywork isn't that bad. Imagine it was bodied by Volgren.

  like it or not, all these licensed parts would soon be made by anyone as long as getting the rights to do so.

  In any case wat has tat '1100' got to do when there's a big fleet?
