Thought I'd put up some pictures of buses used down in the land of the long white cloud.
The first 3 are clearly the same body manufacturer, although I have no idea which. The close rear axles on the first two is rather odd, not seen that on any other vehicles, so I'm guessing it's a more local chassis builder? I would guess they don't have rear steer. Is #3 a MAN chassis perhaps? #4 looks like a more normal tri-axle, perhaps Volvo?

What do you make of this?
Says Scania on the front. :P

Hint: This body and chassis combination is unique in the world.
Well it's an MCV EvoSeti, but tri-axle. Volvo B8L underneath?

You're on the money there. Designline was the Body Manufacturer, an NZ one too. Been through a few names, now known as Global Bus Ventures

I would guess they don't have rear steer.

Indeed, the first one has a locked rear axle. (and the second one too from memory)

Is #3 a MAN chassis perhaps?

Yes. Infact, #1 is also a MAN chassis vehicle.

#4 looks like a more normal tri-axle, perhaps Volvo?

This one has a steerable rear axle, but it isn't a Volvo. Think K series of bus.
