Stormscape Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 On 12/20/2019 at 6:39 AM, Peterbiltguy1989@gmail.com said: I have a question about the C40LFR refurbishment. When they refurbish a C40LFR, are they recertifying the CNG fuel systems on them or are they waiting for the fifteen year date to do that? Not sure if someone else inquired or mentioned it here. From what I recall, the CNG tanks on the C40LFRs have 20 year certification on them, so it's just an overhaul of the bus structure and the engine, not the tanks.

Ok, thanks for the info. I was wondering about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are they gonna start refurbishing the D60LFRs? The thing about that is 2007 was a big year for bus orders with the trolleys, the novas and the Orion Vs which means there are many more buses that need to be refurbed. I say they probably won’t be refurbed till 2022ish. Especially because there are still about half of the C40LFR and D40LFR that need refurbishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well retire them at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Translink, they'd probably refurb them and then squeeze every last bit of 21 years out of them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcelsior Bus Fan Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 On 11/9/2019 at 11:12 PM, KINGSTER200 said: Yes, they started retrofitting the 2014 XN40s about 3 weeks ago. Quite a few of the PCTC XN40s have them now.None of the other Xcelsiors (except the 2018, 2019 XDE60s, XE40s, and 2019 XN40s) have them yet. I’ll just keep updating the list by editing this post. So far: 14013, 14014, 14020, 14028, 14037 The Xcelsiors haave LED headlights. Unlike the older buses with halogen light bulbs, LEDs cant be replaced once they burn out. The entire unit actually has to be replaced when LEDs burn out. Quite possible what happened was the older LED lights burned out, they were no longer available so they got replaced with the new style lights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
