This bus is retiring on 1 December 2016
The DAF SB220 is a rear-engined, single-deck transit bus chassis built by Netherlands-based bus builder DAF Bus International in the 1980s and 1990s, now known as VDL Bus Chassis. Like other DAF buses, the chassis was manufactured in the Netherlands, and available in high-floor and low-entry versions.

Trans-Island Bus Services (TIBS) acquired 84 of such buses between 1990 and 1997, in two different batches. A portion of the first batch of 34 buses were diverted to City Shuttle Service (CSS). The second batch of 50 buses continued to be operated by SMRT Buses, the successor of TIBS.

The DAF SB220 is expected to be fully retired by 1 December 2016.

Technical Information:

The DAF SB220 (Single-deck Bus 220-horsepower) was a bus chassis produced by DAF Bus International. Aside from the domestic market in the Netherlands, units entered service in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Romania and Singapore in a variety of bodyworks. The Optare Delta is an example of a bodywork type created for the DAF SB220 chassis.

The bus was available in 11.3-metre and 12.0-metre lenghts, and in ZF or Voith gearbox options. CNG-powered units were also available.

The chassis has been superseded by the DAF SB200 and SB250, both of which continue to be in production under the VDL brand name.
