The chassis is an Iveco Metro, built for the Australian market, which many other operators have bought. The engine is an 8.9 litre Cummins ISLe and the transmission is the Allison T375R. The bus has THOREB for desto control. The dashboard is quite old fashioned, with only a small screen and mostly circular dials. A large space of the dashboard is occupied by the Iveco logo. Almost the whole bus has LED lights, with the saloon lights actually being hidden and reflecting off the ceiling.

These buses are in the Transport for NSW livery.
