Rafa GUIDES! The MAN NG313 in Ljubljana

Join me for this video as I take you on a MAN NG313 A23 in Ljubljana! It is one of the 10 units left remaining. 13 of those buses were delivered in 2003 together with 6 NL223 A21 units. They might be retired the next year or the year after, depending on how quickly new buses are put into service.
As for the engines and gearboxes of those buses and how it relates to the sound of the bus, I might be wrong and it could be related to other technical parts. I also noticed that some of the NG313s improved in sound from the last time I visited. However, some buses still had a retarder sounding more like the one on the NG312. Feel free to leave a comment on this topic if you know more about this!
The bus driver also told me that this bus has reached 1 million km in mileage!

Nice! I would say that this one and 430 are my favourites. :D

@@Rafa2241oh cool! mine are 422 and 431!

@@lj_rides Ohh 422 is my least favourite because it doesn't sound as good as the other NG313s. As for 431, I can't say because it got withdrawn from service. 🤷
