Would you mind me spread it to other forum?
I'm really excited to see the KMB's new Scania double-decker come true!

Moreover, the SHOWBUS site has already updated its latest news as below.

I checked with this year SHOWBUS entry but found nothing from either KMB or something from Scania/ Salvador Caetano, so I guess they haven't put their entry yet.

Keep our eyes on this post!

I believe the new NEOMAN coming rather than this...coz i really see the pix.
However nobody talks abt the NEOMAN

I hope the news of SHOWBUS offical site is correctly,
because there are many different hearsays of this bus.

Hope SHOWBUS offical site can supply more reference news.

I think this is the one KMB sent back to Neoman earlier.

The Showbus website has updated and this was placed at the top of the page

過o左咁多日終於搵倒架新車o既 entry：
After a few days, the new Scania bus finally appeared on the entry list:

Rally No.：699
Entered by：Kowloon Motor Bus
Registration：unknown
Date：2005
Chassis：Scania
Type：KUD6x2
Body：Caetano H80D
Operator/Livery：KMB
Fleet No：TBC (Note: To Be Confirmed)

唔知大家知唔知 KUD6x2 係咪一隻新底盤？
Do anyone know if KUD6x2 is a new chassis or not?

================以下內容取消================
===========Following content is cancelled===========
同埋將 H80D (ShowBus 車身代號) 作分析，這架巴士應該有 80 個座位。
After analyzing the H80D (ShowBus Body Code), it should be a 80 seat decker.

如果屬實，她的總坐位數量將與現有 ATE / AVW / AVBW / AVBE / APM 等直梯巴士一樣（上 53 下 27，合共 80 個座位）。
If it's true, it will have the same total amount of seat as those straight-staircase buses in KMB like ATE / AVW / AVBW / AVBE / APM (Upper 53 / Lower 27, altogether 80 seats).

i bet it resembles citybus' 2800
if it's using the K chassis (with longitudinal engines),
rather than being similar to the Omnicity/dekkas with N chassis...

(unless it got some parts modified to lower the rear floor level to be comparable to the tridents...)
