Youngman JNP6105GR is a low-floor single-decker bus manufactured since 2012 by Chinese vehicle manufacturer Youngman Automobile Group Co., Ltd. in Jinhua, Zhejiang, China. It is the shorter version of the 12.0m Youngman JNP6120GR plenibus.

Many of these buses were delivered to Citybus in Hong Kong to replace the ageing Volvo B6LE.

Launch

Citybus was the launcher of this bus. Bus 1811 (license plate RN819) was registered on 31 July 2012 and entered service on 15 August 2012 operating route 76 between Shek Pai Wan and Causeway Bay (Moreton Terrace). Citybus currently owns 16 units and four of them have been converted into training buses in 2020.

Features

The bus interior cabin features a large display showing the next immediate stop and the three stops after it. The system is mounted on a handrail over the front offside wheel arch. This system is also installed on the lower deck of the latest Citybus Alexander Dennis Enviro500 double-deckers.

The chassis is fully Low-floor bus, removing the need for kneeling and wheelchair ramps.

The middle door, manufactured by Ventura Systems of the Netherlands, are plug door type, meaning they slide outwards instead of opening conventionally. Many newer buses in Hong Kong feature these doors.

The bus is fitted with a Euro 5 compliant MAN D0836 LOH-65 diesel engine, coupled with a Voith DIWA 864.5 4-speed automatic transmission.
