Half Cut buses?

LMAO
I saw a few buses that sported the Mtrans ( Kinglong ) front, but the side and rear is from an Iveco? JPJ approved? @.@

Small Merc

- Aircon too high up
- Relatively powerful, although it uses the same engine as the dugong, its chassis it much lighter.
- Steps issue. (too many? too high?)
- Some are using Mtrans powerplant
- cute design
- some quality issues, like back engine cover not smooth
