4:12 Enviro400s built for the UK do not have air conditioning. Those fans at the rear are just for ventilation, not proper AC. The ones built for Hong Kong and other tropical climates do, which is why they do not have a lower deck window at the rear as this space is taken up by AC equipment.

What's the fascination with double deckers in London. They have been used all over the UK since the early 1900's and first used in Paris in the 1800's. Listening her you would think they only existed in London in the early days.

When focusing on the engine, I couldn't really help but notice that some of it is Green in colour which reminds me of a similar video which went behind the scenes at a factory in Warwickshire, England where they make the Dennis Eagle bin lorries/garbage trucks and they had 3 different engines to put in their vehicles depending on which country they were going to be used. Green, Red and Black were the colours. Green were the Volvo engines and they were for use in the UK. Black were the Renault engines and they were for use in mainland Europe. Red I think were Tata engines from India and they were for use in Asia. It just so happens that I know MCV has close ties with Volvo so I wouldn't really be surprised if it was Volvo engines being installed in the double decker buses we saw here.

Sure is interesting on making double decker buses. However, there needs to be fully conventional double decker buses with the engine in front of the driver's seat and the transmission be placed right beside the driver's seat. No cab-over-engines, diesel-pushers or any nose-less design. E.G. Look up Lancia Omicron.

The engines rev up to about 2,500 or 3,000 - if you could get that same engine to spin up, the power curve would also increase - so based on a car engine, that would be ~500hp. The real power is the torque, much closer to 700 or 800Nm
