A ride on board a Mississauga Transit 1989 Orion V #8923

I believe this bus is now retired.

buses rule

Is this an naturally aspired (no turbo) engine? In hong kong older AC buses used to have LT10 and LTA10 engines...

[6V92TA]

its turboed. jus isnt a loud turbo as other engines are.

[ClassicTVFan82]

The bus - at the time of this recording & videoshoot - has the air conditioner turned on, which further drowns out the turbocharger noise.

a 3 speed for real? thats no good

my school bus has a 4 speed and cant make it over 55 without overreving

[MT0603]

A Voith 3 speed with the L10 can do 60 MP/h easily. A Voith 3 or 4 speed could easily do what a Allison 6 speed could do.

[ClassicTVFan82]

Many an Orion V or Gillig Phantom equipped with the L10/D863.3 (this powertrain) has a 4.1:1 rear end ratio as standard. A 4.1:1 can push this bus up to 63 mph at the engine's governed speed of 2,100 rpm.

Non-governed (2,300 rpm max engine speed), the same 4.1:1 rear end ratio can make this bus go to 70 mph.

[6V92TA]

bet that bus would run like a champ with a set of Eaton 390 rear ends.

@s172mch an L10/Voith 3speed drivetrain can easily go 80 and I've done it many a day

Those buses have a great sound. I've been on a St. John's Metrobus Transit 1993 Orion V that has a Cummins L10.

[ClassicTVFan82]

Did that one have a Voith tranny?

[Boeing227]

I think!
