It was a while I didn't post something about #CoSoBuses, so here I am: in the link there is a picture of the minibus BredaMenariniBus M231 CU number 153 of SETA Modena in service on the Sassuolo urban bus route A. It's equipped with an Euro 5 Mercedes-Benz M906 LAG natural gas engine (6883 cc, 6 cylinders, 170 kW/231 PS) and a ZF Ecomat 4HP502 4-speed automatic transmission.

@researchbuzz Not easy to find such kind of bus photos, to be honest. A little trivia: the Diesel version of the M231 mounted another Germany made engine, the Deutz BF4M 1013FC. It's a 4 cylinder engine of 4764 cc and a power output of 140 kW/190 PS.
@elleci42a Wait, it's not easy to find pretty bus pictures or ugly bus pictures? Now I'm intrigued, lol
@researchbuzz It's not easy to find pics of buses that are parked at a bus route terminal stop
@elleci42a Ah, I see. I guess the photos are all taken by enthusiasts? I mean, I've don't think you've ever shared a marketing picture.
@researchbuzz Yes, so far they all were pics taken by bus enthusiasts
@elleci42a They are very good. It counts for a lot when photographers love and appreciate their subjects.
@elleci42a Now even *I* can see that livery is red, lol. That's a pretty bus but even more it's a pretty setting! You never show me a picture of a bus that's, like, sitting on some concrete somewhere.
