Unless its that Cummins L9? Yes. Voith/L9. If anything, I've found the whine to be louder on newest Voith equipped buses; though it shouldn't have anything to do with the L9.

I don't the whine but the whistle I hear when the other novas slow down. Not sure if you know what I mean though. Hard to explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you know what I mean though. Hard to explain Do you mean whine or whistle? The whistle is the retarder in action; you’ll here that on pretty much every Voith bus in some way or another. It’s usually louder on novas compared to NFs or Orions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97SCT Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 1806 came out today. Currently the only new 40 footer active now and the stripes wrap around the front. The other units 1801-1805, 1807-1813 and 1860, 1862 are still being prepped I would assume. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
