Scania K230UB (Euro V Batch 1) buses are being granted extensions to their statutory 17-year lifespan.
This batch of 400 buses were registered in 2009, featuring only one wheelchair bay and more seats as compared to the earlier batches of Euro IV Scania K230UB buses. These buses were originally due for retirement between March to October 2026.
Other bus models receiving lifespan extension recently are the Mercedes-Benz OC500LE buses & the earlier Scania K230UB (Euro IV) Batch 1 & Batch 2 buses.
Lifespan Extensions
As of 10 January 2026, the first 20 buses in this batch have received an extension to their lifespan. These are SBS8562T, SBS8563R, SBS8565K – SBS8573L & SBS8575G – SBS8583H.

Hope that Another 377 Scania K230UB Euro V Batch 1 Buses Will Then Recieve Another 2-Year Lifespan Extension to Retire them in 2028.
