O 405s
Singapore Bus
Services bought a total of 700 Mercedes Benz O 405s in 1990. The chassis
were made in Mainheim, Germany. Of which,
100 with Alexander PS non-airconditioned bodywork,
200 with Duple Metsec non-airconditioned bodywork,
100 with Alexander PS air-conditioned bodywork, and
300 with Duple Metsec air-conditioned bodywork.
These buses can be seen in every part of the country and play a very crucial role. Most of the non-airconditioned buses have been converted to air-conditioned buses.
On the other hand, Trans Island Bus Services also bought large numbers of Volgren and Hispano bodied O 405s. Some of them were not air-conditioned in the beginning. By 2002, all buses in the fleet are fitted with air-conditioners.
Discovery Bay Bus Services of Hong Kong also bought a number of O 405s. They have all been scrapped.
In Australia, Sydney Buses has a large fleet of O 405s, in both dual-purpose and bus formats.
O 405 Gs
Articulated buses were very common in European countries, but it was new to Singapore. On 1 January 1997, Singapore Bus Services purchased a Volgren bodied Mercedes Benz O 405 G. This bus has been exported to New Zealand. Trans Island Bus Services purchased big numbers of O 405Gs with Hispano and Volgren body.
O 405 NHs
Diesel and compressed natural gas are options of choice of fuels for O 405 NHs in Australia. Buses are welded together with the front and the rear of the O 405.
O 405 N1s / O 405 GN1s
It is the compressed natural gas version of the O 405. It was denoted O 405 N by the manufactuerer, but N1 is shown here so that it is easier to distinguish this model and the O 405 N2.
O 405 N2s / O 405
GN2s
This is the refined version of the O 405 N1s in Germany. It has non-step area and deeper window. It is welcomed by many European operators.
