2008 DAF VDL SBR 4000 Jonckheere Transit getting scrapped on October 22, 2020.

Arriva is scrapping a large number of withdrawn buses in 2020. Here is one of them, Arriva 1414 a 2008 DAF Jonckheere that was withdrawn from service in November 2019.

As Retired NYC Bus Operator it saddens me to see this Bus destroyed and tossed around like a rag doll

[@niki8141]

i dont understand this, I mean in other countrys the Buses are sooo old and ripe for scrap and Arriva is scrapping this bus, I mean in Switzerland we take so good care of our buses sol that we can use them for 30 years. And Arriva is scrapping this modern bus, who was only 12 years old, thats too young.

[@KimB10M]

KimB10M for 1 sekund siden I hear that a lot. But route buses in Denmark always had a lifespan of 10-12 years (some even shorter), this is nothing unusual, only difference is that from 1990-2010 most of them were sold for export, now there are no buyers for them and the operators cannot re-use them in Denmark as (almost) every new tender requires electric buses.

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

I live in Belgium. We also have this model (VDL-Jonckheere Transit 2000), but not the 13, 14 or the 15 meter bus. We only have 12 meter ones of this model. And the youngest ones are from 2010, but not scrapped. While the oldest ones are from 2000 or 2001 which are already scrapped in 2019 and the Corona years (2020 - 2021).

[@CB3ROB-CyberBunker]

plastic crap is probably mostly held together with tierips and ductape by now. these things won't last 100 years like proper ones do. the aficans dont' even want them. nuff said. lol. absolutely zero offroad capability. lots of weird bent glued in thermopane windows, tons of plastic. nothing there you want to poke a screwdriver into 4 years after it leaves the factory and they stop selling bumpers for it... lol. simply making you own parts is less of an option on this garbage. all time better spent welding together some brand new clones of the daf mb200 or mercedes o303 than trying to fix this shit up to keep running. -those- you can just run through the desert and acutally -get there-. lol.

[@CB3ROB-CyberBunker]

taking the whole thing apart and seeing if you can produce literally everything about it in-house if need be should be part of normal aquisition/sales trajects anyway. and if you find one weird shaped bit of plastic or silly thermopane glass or glass that isn't in a rubber,. it's disqualified. lol. if it takes more than 4 screws and unhooking the tacho cable to remove the dashboard it also is disqualified. lol.

[@joh2]

Daresay chassis rust would be an issue with these buses, hence the scrapping? Here in New Zealand a number of buses (buses here often have a 20-25 year service life) go on to have second lives as house-buses.

[@KimB10M]

Rust has nothing to do with it. Buses work in contracts of 6-12 years, when the contracts expires the buses are redundant and is mostly scrapped. New contracts requires Euro 6 engines or electric buses.

[@KimB10M]

AUS and NZ politicians do not care about pollution from public buses. In Northern Europe it's all about zero emission buses. I visited Mana Coaches back in 2013, they were working some ex. Copenhagen Volvo B10M from the early 1980's rebodied of course, but what a pleasure it was drive around in them. Check out my older videos.

[@jaggass]

@@KimB10M Here in the UK buses don't get scrapped because of contracts but more to do with poor maintenance, rust, lack of demand etc. Some buses that end up in scrapyards do get sold on if they're in reasonable condition. Most go to small bus firms that do school runs.

Not that long ago here in London we were still running buses around 40 years old, red double decker 'Routemaster' buses. Even now buses run up to 15 years old, but then leave London for a new working life in other areas of the UK.

[@user-sk3tn1hr8t]

We just had some London buses with front passenger & middle passenger doors here in Swindon. They did not last long here! They reversed out of the loading bay at the Bus Station & then stopped for a while as I guess the driver was trying to select Drive or a forward gear of some sort. I think they were only here about 1 month.

[@pjclutterbuck230473]

I suppose it's better to scrap old buses rather than replace them with other low-emission diesels (including hybrids), but let these continue polluting the atmosphere somewhere else. I have advocated for the same in NZ, although there the old buses are over 20 years in service, so they have fully outlived their economic life.

[@pjclutterbuck230473]

I do worry about the embodied energy though, e.g. from steel produced with coal fires. There is a lot of that that goes into a bus.

[@araujojulio89]

why do they remove and destroy so early? Is there no market for them?

[@KimB10M]

Nop! no buyers for them, haven't been for years. Contracts are 8-12 years long, then no more work for the buses and therefore withdrawn and later on sold for scrap. This year alone Arriva in Denmark have sold 325 buses for scrap.

I'm not sure if it's good to scrap such a new looking bus, even if he uses a few more fuel than a new one. There is needed a lot of "Grey" energy to produce a new one and often energetic production Amortisation compared to the savings in fuel took place first after 500000 to 700000km of usage.... Think that are More economic and greenwashing reasons for the break down
