Ain't that the same as Gmc Nova and TMC all making RTS? 3 different companies making the same bus!? I dunno. I just wanted to say something. I truthfully dunno the answer!

I just wanted to say something. I truthfully dunno the answer! It's different because it was not like the RTS situation, which actually has 4 manufactures, who produced the bus at different times. If anything, it's more like the Bombardier/Kawasaki relationship..... but not really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted August 15, 2008 Share #170 Posted August 15, 2008 GM was afraid of an antitrust lawsuit against their very successful line of buses, the New Looks, so they aided Flxible in producing their version, intentionally hurting their own, even providing GM engines for use in Flxible buses.

Next Question: Why does Detroit Diesel no longer offer their engines in transit buses?? No, I just read Wikipedia all the time because I'm incredibly bored... and I visit the New Look page often... I know this one from Wiki too (or at least part of the answer)... Daimler Chrysler owns GMDD now, and they don't want to offer any GMDD engine in a non-Daimler vehicle... why? I don't know. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. :confused: No, that's not it. They don't even offer the DD it in the Orion's anymore either. Chrysler owned DD, then DaimlerChrysler was created, and when the two companies split Daimler assumed all the assets except Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. Now that it is Daimler AG again some things have changed. HINT: Orion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted August 16, 2008 Share #175 Posted August 16, 2008 I found from Google that.......... U.S.A., exhaust emissions from city buses fueled by diesel are not characterized well because current emission standards require engine tests rather than tests of whole vehicles. Labortories gathered realistic emission data from heavy-duty vehicles, including buses, tested in simulated driving conditions. A subset of these data has been utilized for a comprehensive introspection into the trends of regulated emissions from transit buses over the last 7 years, which has been prompted by continuously tightening restrictions on one hand, along with remarkable technological progress, on the other hand. Two widely used models of diesel engines manufactured by the Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) have been selected as a case-study for such an overview, based on full-scale, on-site testing of actual city buses, driven in accordance with the SAE J1376 standard of a Commercial Business District (CBD) cycle. ..............................Meaning it unfriendly?
