Transperth TP1882 - Mercedes Benz OC500LE CNG (Loud ZF)

Possiblly the loudest ZF gearbox in the Transperth fleet prior to its withdrawal. TP1882 putting on a littlle deonstration of just how good the Mercedes OC500LE CNG buses can be when driven right and looked after mechanically. Of course there are plenty of worse examples!

I have to say this has got to be one of the loudest ZF known to the world!

[@pokers112]

This brings back a lot of memories of catching the bus to school cause all the busses sounded like this

[@EweTubio]

Wow! Louder than my wife’s whining 😂

[@user-three-four-nine]

Never realized how good 1882 sounded until this video! Of course i knew it was loud, but here it's way more than just loud

Turkey, Ankara's fleet has a ton of MAN Lion's Classic CNGs with older ones (2006-2008) having ear-blasting Voith's and newer ones (2009-2011) quiet ZF's. this is my first time hearing a ZF in its full glory lol

[@Alabaster335]

I would drive buses again if they sounded this good. These days they are extremely boring. These and the older V8 PMC's (either 5 speed manual or 4 speed Allison automatic) had the best sound and were fun to drive.

Love it

[@Noup309729]

Wow that's a loud and beautiful ZF ! 🥰

[@nautilus269]

Would be good if the Adelaide ones were this audible. You can barely hear them in contrast to this one, once they get to 4th gear or higher.

Seem's to be only a handful of loud ones over here, Sydney buses have way louder ZF boxes from what I have heard. Could be something to do with the body building and sound prroofing?

[@satransitvideos]

How is this so loud from the front ? engine hatch open down the back?

[@westlondonerstravels578]
