The Best Sounding BUS Engines
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- Anybody wondered what cool engines might propel buses, the very vehicles which took us to school in kids days etc? There are certain brands which used a more uncommon engine configurations than usual and despite being diesel they sound incredibly awesome.

VisioRacer is definitely the only dude that could get me to watch a video on bus engines!!!😉
Om601 has lowed 2650rpm forever !
Sooo true lol
F A C T S
Your ability to ferret up a fascinating topic is almost as enchanting as your videos themselves. And I was convinced from so far away you would leave out the 8V71. I will learn in time.
Agreed
The Scania 5 cylinder is fuckin garbage 😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡
@@TrumpsterHCVP Cool.
I prefer the 6V92 but
12v71 is king of buses... there is 12v92 but never seen one in a bus.
I would never guess that the sound coming from the first bus is actually a bus. Also I just love how wobbly are the belts in every shown engine lol
That's V-belts for ya
@@j.m.5995 yeah got them in my mk2 jetta but they are not even close to these on the vid when it comes to how wobbly they are. Probably that is because of their lenght, no pulleys, tensioners just a long free space for them to wobble about.
@@boargarage9590 Yup you pretty much hit the nail on the head there bubba. It's also probably not tensioned properly
On those North American Detroit powered buses, the belts are tensioned from a compressed air cylinder, that doesn’t extend until the brake reservoir pressure is nearly full.
It makes replacing belts on the road super easy, but cold starts with low air are interesting.
Cause u know shit about cars/buses/engines
Detroit Diesels are such a symphony to listen to!
2 stroke DD are known for turning fuel into noise
2t diesels are awesome.
I always think of Maximum Overdrive when I hear a Detroit!
Agreed - Give me the music of the old Detroit 2 stroke - don't care how many cylinders. They all sound good.
My favoirite Detroit is the Series 50, which a 4 cylinder and 4 stroke diesel, what used in some Hungarian made Ikarus buses, for example the most of the type of C56, 256.42 & .22, and some of the E95s
You Missed the Mazda Parkway, powered by a 13B. Imagine a bus going BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP!
Or stranger still. The Holden HJ/HX 1975-77 series Premier sedan. Sold as the Mazda Roadpacer with a 13B - instead of Holden 5.0 litre V8.
You call that a Bus *laughs in mci*
I wonder if that one had a green line instead of a redline on the tach aswell
1:30 Thanks for sharing a turkish plated O303 V8. These machines are so iconic here. Every petrolhead appreciates its sound. So sad the time of the OM400 series has passed 😔
they are iconic here in greece too :-) too bad there are not using them anymore :-(
Superb sounding motors, particularly the OM303 near the beginning of the feature.
The 'steam horse' in the NYMR bus/truck is a low pressure double expansion unit.
The Megaliner has been my absolute favorite coach forever. Was my desktop wallpaper in highschool.
I’m not into busses or anything but it’s a pretty cool thing for sure! It reminds me of the 1950s concept utility vehicles/busses
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 Yeah it was a cool modern design just like the GMC RTS- a transit bus that was built from like 1979-85, but looked like it belonged in the 90s.
@@ItsDaJax wow yeah your right
I have gotten to the point where his accent gets me excited to go work on my mini cooper s. You sir are a pillar of the community.
The fact the Megaliner used a manual transmission makes it even cooler
I used to go to school on a Neoplan double decker coach, it had 3 axles. This was in the mid 80's.
Now THESE are exactly the sort of engines I'm most interested in. I wanted to be a bus/truck driver when I was a kid, too - and decades later I still often do. Amazing video, left me with plenty of new things to look into further.
What I love most about this channel is it's not biased towards supercars and high performance engines. It's literally an ever expanding encyclopedia of all things engine! Love it
We have the Scania dc9 in our bus fleet and I love them. They have a great offbeat throb under load between 1200 and 1500 rpm and are lovely to drive.
Do you know that Scania made buses with the D14 (free breathing 14 litre V8) between 1971 and 1978. These buses were built in 1042 units.
Interesting video!
A brief story....I'm a doctor in Primary Health Care in Greece. From 2008 till 2010 I was working in a Health Center in central Greece, that had in use two ambulances. A Fiat Ducato 1900 , that did....what it could and a VW Transporter VR6, manual transmission...the "good" version. Legend (and drivers) say that a couple of years before, they went to Athens' main Pediatric Hospital, transporting a child in critical condition, proceeding , when it was possible , around 200 km/h....continously and for long distance....without any minimum problem.
one of my favorite channels, you've exploded recently! highly deserved, your enthusiasm for the automotive is infectious. thank you for your time, wisdom and effort!
Man! you started out with the sound of my childhood. Mercedes 0303.
Nice video! I work in a buscompany in north Germany. I remember we had a bunch of Mercedes v8s from the 80s. They had so much torque and the sound was delicious.
The sound of the O305 scared me when I was a boy.
I love the knocking sound of old diesel and the smell
That 5 cylinder Scania sounds sweet! Of course the VR6 T4 too;-)
i love when i walk to school and get passed by my local busses they sound so good and in the winter i usualy wonna go skiing so i take the bus to the lifts and i can just enjoy the turbo from inside the bus
I love watching you're videos Visio racer. They never get boring and you continue to surprise me with the quality of your work, this video was very fascinating!! Keep up the great work 😃
I remember the legendary sound of the Mercedes Benz O303, yeah it's V10. It is the only bus in region. It was active every week from Monday until Friday until the pandemic started on March 2020 & since then, it's parked not far away from my house (private bus company's garage).
In Argentina, several coaches runned aircooled V10 Deutz engines. Also urban buses equiped BF6L Deutz. Incredible soundtrack of the 90s. Great video, and greetings from 🇦🇷 once again!
Love the old supercharged Detroit diesel
You mean the blower driven top end of a 2 stroke ie: a 12v71? Thats not a supercharger its a gear driven blower to get air into the engine as large 2 strokes have trouble breathing. It doesnt actually run boost, so technically Theyre naturally aspirated
@@billyray4716 It's still a supercharger, boost is just the rate in which it pulls air. 1psi or 30psi, it's an airpump, a compressor, it has boost. The name "supercharger" is just popular nomenclature coined when people started pulling those blowers off those diesels and putting them on their hotrods. Supercharger technically isn't even the correct term for any of them, it's just what they're called, like how all toaster pastries are called Pop-Tarts. Roots or twin screw blower or compressor is the correct term, some car review mags and blogs will even say this in the specs, as it is proper.
One could argue every supercharger isn't a supercharger, but nearly all of them are used for performance gains- not in the way we think of performance today, but yet still to increase engine performance in pulling more air whether it was for better fuel mixture in the detroit, or so a fighter plane could reach the clouds. They were also used as emissions devices; Fords thermactor by todays standards would be called a tiny centrifugal "supercharger", despite any kind of performance was not it's purpose, and if I recall, it blew air straight in to the exhaust manifold. Same with the "supercharged" Toyota Previa; it's blower was for emissions compliance.
@@ItsDaJax They aren't used for boosting, so no boost, so no supercharging, so not a supercharger in this application.
@@ItsDaJax These two-stroke diesels literally do not run without the blower on top, it isn't a power-adder, its crucial to the engines operation.
Unlike the usual sort of two-stroke you'd find in a dirtbike, where the combustion chamber is cleared by the fuel-air charge being pushed by the bottom of the piston out of the crankcase, the bottom end of these diesel two-strokes is much like a four-stroke bottom end, there is no port to the cylinder, its full of oil, and it doesn't have a fuel-air mixture inside it.
To clear the cylinder at the bottom of the power-stroke, remember, as a two-stroke, there is no exhaust stroke, the blower - true to its name - literally blows the burnt exhaust out and fresh air in. It doesn't really produce any appreciable boost as it does this though, its simply there as a matter of "this is how this engine runs".
@@camdenyaroschak3336 Okay I get that. There are detroits that don't have a blower, or turbo, though.
Very happy to see a video on buses! Especially from visio!!!
Lawnmowers have some cool engines, found a two stroke twin cylinder mower it’s a flat twin 2 stroke! Victa 500 twin
What bus was that in ?
@@peterbustin2683 The Lilliput Express.
@@BillLaBrie Boom !!!
Happy to see you back.
The N128 megaliner with OM442LA sounds and looks incredible!
I have done some mechanical work om MAN buses with Mercedes V8, its insanely tight to work on them in a bus. Once I changed a head gasket, we had to be 2 persons to do the right torque!
Thank you for making this weirdly satisfying video.
I pray that you never stop finding cool engine to review. Keep up the good work brother...
As a Busdriver I was very pleased to watch this. I took my licence in a 2000 Setra 411 mated to an OM501 LA v6 and a 6 speed manual gearbox. Now I'm stuck driving a Scania Citywide with a CNG engine. Which I should ask, next topic? Worst sounding bus engines?
Never thought I needed this video until I watched it. 10/10 mate
Wow. This video was pretty cool. I came across your video on my CZcams recommended list. Looks like you have a new subscriber. Well done👍
Dang I just love this channel, excellent content.
Love the video 👍 love the sound of the Detroit diesels the buses, in ireland used them in the 80s to the early 00s. Missed the sound of these engine's....
They were used in everything. Military Humvees used them for a while, before they were replaced with Duramaxes, like the H1 used throughout its run. I think Seagrave used them in fire engines until the 00s. Little known fact about Seagrave, is it used to be the FWD truck company in the early 1900s. I think Seagrave uses International Harvester or Catapilar diesels, and they are slower than the detroit trucks 0-40mph.
Greets from Indonesia... I am one of the bus enthusiast from East Java... Those engines are undoubtly is marvelous👍
But here, the old ones especially the front engine type one (engine located beside the driver) has the unique sound of the engine and a superbly marvelous exhaust sound at the back of the bus... The new ones, not having that sound 😂
I want to thank you again for your research and content. Your the bomb!!!!
I knew i wasn't the only "oddball" who liked the sound of buses
Nope!😁
Of course you're not the only one. Sound is, in many cases, one of the key characteristics that make a certain bus interesting. A large number of bus enthusiasts will tell you that. Therefore, you just keep on enjoying those sounds. :D
You definitely are not! A lot of things get archived, but do enough sounds get preserved? If a sound gets embedded so deeply in our memories it must mean something
Another cracking video. I've seen the steamer in Whitby lots of times usually full.
I used to love buses so much when i was kid. I'm happy to see my favorite yt channel talks about buses for the first time. Ya see such boring comercial vehicles can make a good sounds too
I love commercial vehicles. The megaliner is my favorite coach, GMC RTS is my favorite transit bus, International Harvester 3700 series are my favorite school bus.
Great video !, Its very interesting to see what engines power all these buses and trucks.
Well done filming all these great engines and busses ! 👍👍👍
Best show on youtube as ever , Thanks Sir
I miss riding the Mercedes 0303 V8 I always took a seat in the back to enjoy the sound of the engine.
only you could make such a list. 10/10 would watch again
The best bus sounds are from Miami city buses. Their turbos go sutututu when the drivers let off the throttle, gives me a smile every time!
Pretty cool video. As a kid I dreamt to be like Ascari or Fangio. I appreciated an old Greyhound bus in my later years powered by a V8 Detroit Diesel 2 stroke that absolutely screamed beautiful noise. I did some external sheetmetal work on that one.
Lol we had same dream when we was a kid, to be a truck or bus driver 😂. Cheers! Perfect content as always 👍
The tickover of the Mercedes OM604LA is something I always loved. Would have been used in the Vario and Atego. I believe I have the engine code correct.
Been waiting for this one.
The Mercedes O303 is childhood memory. Before turning 20 years old I surrounded the earth twice in these things - fair to say I never sat in one afterwards. Not only because I had a car but also because they were old and disappeared from German roads around that time. Except for the odd Neoplan or Setra (which usually had the same engine type) all bus companies in the area I grew up had O303 coaches.
I went on several school class trips, 4 times from the middle of Germany to Florence in Italy on school concert trips, countless day trips and as there was a version for rural line operation as well (called the O303 KHP-L) and Germany uses regular revenue buses as school buses, an O303 happend to be my usual school bus, adding the majority with 35 kilometers each school day for 6 years to the total. And of course I would sit in the back most of the time to hear the engine.
In the Philippines - Nissan Diesel truck based Condors are once commonly used esp with CPB with FE6B NA & SP215/PKB 212 with FE6C. When the resonator removed the engine growls very loud....
Those Detroit Diesel V8s sounded amazing, it was what got me hooked on semi-trucks.
Learn something every time , great trip into transportation history.
Scanias naturally aspirated version of 14.2 liter V8 , front and rear engine versions , some with Allison automatic.
Awesome video.
I remember in grade school my district had a fleet of International S1800s with International's 9.0L diesel V-8 and I _loved_ the sound of those. I recommend that engine for a future video, but I can't seem to find any examples on CZcams!
Amazing work
Well done much appreciated. Best wishes and cheers.
Hey guy! Nice video! Don't forget the Scania K113CL chassis and the amazing engine sound!
If you were to ever make a part too, I'd suggest the leyland 0680 found in Bristol REs, Cummins 8.3 found in dennis tridents 2s, volvo b10ms (or any BUs with the D10A, TD102KF or whatever it was ), Dennis dart with the cummins 5.9, scania N112/3s and any bus with the gardner 6LXB..those are good sounding buses too
Ford v10 sounds good too.
We had Leyland Olympic buses in Jamaica that ran from the 60s to late 90s fitted with the legendary 0680.
And Iveco 370.35 whit v8 engine
Cummins 8.3 🥵
Cummins engine is very common to Hong Kong buses
Still have no idea how you made me watch an 8 minute video about buses. Amazing work
Thinking back to going to school in a 1947 Ford rear engine transit bus, overloaded with standees.
This 95HP flathead V-8 would somehow climb a steep bridge over railroad tracks on the way.
One of the school buses I rode on in high school was an International with a T444E and five speed manual. That thing always sounded good driving off.
Very impressive presentation yet again VisR. Really cool sounding engines here, mate.
You've given me an idea which I hope will feature at some point...
Vans, Buses and Trucks from the movies and tv.
To kick start the idea....
1971 Movie "Duel" - Kenworth(?);
GMC van from The A-Team.
The Big Bus movie.... No idea wtf was used though lol.
If any other subscribers want to add to this.... go ahead.
Great content. Peace 👍
my favorite one is the Marcopolo Viaggio Volvo B10M, amazing engine sound
I'm a bus spotter, it was great to see a video about buses here! There's a lot to know - and hear - about buses, the Scania DC9 was a great surprise among other great engines listed in this video. Some examples that could be shown in another one: Scania DSC11 (Scania F113HL, K113CL/TL, L113CL and other 113 models), Volvo horizontal 10 litre series (Volvo B10M range, like TH102KF) and 12 litre DH12 (Volvo B12M and B12B TX platform), Mercedes-Benz OM449/MAN D2865, Mercedes-Benz OM366/366A (turbo)/366LA (turbo intercooler), Cummins ISL (Volkswagen 18.330OT), MAN D0836 (Volkswagen 17.260OD/ODS, and other VWCO models), Cummins 6CTAA 8.3 (look for Mafersa, a public Brazilian company that built trains and buses through 1980's to 1999's, model name M210 Turbo), and the list goes on! You'll gonna love them.
You just made a video about bus engines... And it was good.
A fascinating selection, especially the Sentinel S-Type steam bus. Skoda built the S-Type steam waggon under licence I think in Pilsen.
Thanks for an awesome video it was very interesting 😀👍
Nice to see some big utilitarian engines on the channel! At 5:40 I was thinking that boy, that sure looks like Finland. Then it dawned on me that it actually is my hometown, Oulu. The bus in the video is running an old livery. Nowadays they are pink!
As a bus driver... i appreciate this
As a bus enthusiast, I very much appreciate this
Former bus driver turned truck driver here. Never too late to live your dream, sir.😊
Nice job bro 👍 I especially love the steam engine 😉
As for me the best sounding bus engine is RABA MAN IKARUS 256 and 260, such sweet sound from my childhood
And Chavdar 11m4
I missed the roar of the Volvo B58/B10 series. Best sounding 6 cylinder bus ever
Really magical fabulous , actually undesirable , especially the first Mercedes , I also loved the elizabeth steamy , salutes .
Elizabeth has amazing pulling power, the way that thing hauls itself up them hills is something else.
The Mercedes 0303 is an awesome bus to ride in and the sound of the engine is just awesome. Detroit diesels are awesome too.
I worked on U.S Army vehicles that were powered by a 8v71 Detriot Diesel.That vehicle had both a Roots supercharger and a Turbocharger.Needed the turbocharger because of the layout of the air intake system.Made for a fun time servicing the engine though.
I love work vehicles of any kind they make the world spin💪
Haha watching a video about bus engines then realising you’re covering one I’ve got! A 24v VR6 T4! I’ve got a stainless exhaust on mine too so it makes a nice noise!
awesome video
You missed the 1hd-fte engine in the Toyota coaster buses , they sound beautiful.
OM 442LA V8 does it for me. Love the sound of that engine. Had some Neoplan Skyliners in South Africa powered by that engine. Powerful machines.
80s-90s Leyland Lynxes in the UK were loud and sounded juicy when the driver gave it some stick!
The hero we didn't know we needed
Unusual video but still very good.
A VW van with a VR6, the exhaust note can really put a smile on one's face.
Thanks for this video !! I realised a dream there are 3 yeats ago by buying an american motohome to import here in France, it is powered by a nice 3208 V8 Caterpillar, 10.4 liters and 300 hp ! Very nice sound and very powerful, and it's my house :D
Cheers from France !
This needs to be a multi part series!!
6V71 Detriot.
Commer TS3 "Knocker"
Foden 2 stroke diesel.
Leyland 510 in their National bus
Leyland 0600 and 0680 and TL11.
Gardner LW and 6LXB
Mercedes OM407and OM447 inline six engines and very similar MAN counterparts D2566 and D2866, used in Mercedes 0305 & 0405, MAN SL200 & SL202 buses (SL202 using both).
AEC 590, 690, 691, 760 (Later the Leyland TL12). 590 used in London's famous Routemaster deckers. Older AEC 9.6L used in the mighty RT deckers.
Cummins L10.
11 litre engine used in Scania L113 series buses. Scania V8 trucks as well as inline sixes from the 80s.
Volvo 9.6 TD series bus engines.
12 litre used in B12 coaches and buses.
Many many more.
I like the sound of the Volvo B12B Alfa Regio. It's have a Volvo DH12 Inline-6 engine, which is have a pretty amazing sound. Especially when it takes off from the bus station, and the Turbo spins up😍
Hes back!!!
My favourite bus engine is the Volvo DH10A engine. It was used in those old Volvo B10-BLE buses. They're out of service now, but they were legendary. I live in the UK but I think they were in service elsewhere.
There's nothing that compares to sitting in the back seat of a bus powered by a Detroit 😊 Especially if it's mated to an Allison AT545 transmission 🥰 Boy, the two of them could sing a song 😁
Very good and interesting.
90's babies in the US, the best sounding bus engine for us was the T444E then the VT365. Something about smelling the spent diesel on a cool fall morning.
Your West Texas accent is improving...keep it up..
Nice vídeo always whit good and interesting informativo! Happy to see one that i have made! Thanks
