五十鈴 Isuzu

編號 Class:S

新福利共有十架五十鈴JCR460巴士,全數是福利於一九八二至八四年購入,亦是澳門首款日本大型單層巴士。五十鈴巴士底盤設計是引擎置於前車軸前,令前門可安放於前軸之前,方便作一人控制。十架五十鈴巴士可以分成兩批,除了車身選配方面外,亦可以從投入服務時有否配備空調作區別。

首四架於一九八三年投入服務的五十鈴是由香港黃明裝配單門版車身,附設一台獨立引擎驅動的空調系統,用作行走港澳碼頭及巿中心區的巴士服務,藉此提升服務質素。餘下六架五十鈴JCR460底盤則交由香港新昌,裝上跟早年購入的亞比安相近的車身,設有前門及中門,並以普通巴士型式示人,於一九八四年投入服務。當十架五十鈴於一九八六年由福利轉往新福利,都接受了改裝工程,首批四架五十鈴繼續維持設有空調設備的安排,但車尾增設落車門,而次批六架新車則將中門移到尾軸之後,以騰出位置加設驅動空調系統的引擎。當改裝工程完成,十架五十鈴獲編配S01-S10車隊編號,並主要行走1A線,當中S04曾於服役載客車隊期間兼作訓練巴士之用。

十架五十鈴巴士自二零零四年開始退役,最終於二零零七年全數退役,當中S03及S05改作訓練巴士,在之後時間兩車前門被取消以及換上密封式車窗。

The first full-sized single decker from Japan in Macau is Isuzu JCR460 which acquired by Fok Lei between 1982 and 1984. They are front-engined and the engine placed ahead the front axle allowed them for One-Man-Operation. All Isuzu JCR460 can divide into two batches according whether they were air-conditioned and the bodybuilder chosen.

To upgrade the service between the Jetfoil and the city centre, 4 Isuzu JCR460s bodied by Wong Ming of Hong Kong were introduced in 1983. They featured with air-conditioning system powered by an auxiliary diesel engine fitted. A single door placed ahead the front axle and functioned as both entrance and exit. The remaining 6 JCR460 were delivered in 1984 after their completion of bodyworks by Sun Cheong of Hong Kong. Unliked the early example, they were non air-conditioned and an addition centre door fitted as exit like the Albion did.

Transmac carried modification works on all Isuzu JCR460s when they inherited from Fok Lei in 1986. The first four remained air-conditioned but a rear exit added behind the rear axle while the second batch, the centre exit moved to the rear to provide space to accommodate the addition engine for the air-conditioning system.  They were classed as S01-S10 afterwards and mainly served route 1A. To go one step further, S04 was used as trainer even it still active in revenue service.

Transmac replaced the Isuzu with Dennis Dart SLF since 2004 and they were eventually retired in 2007. Two of the Isuzu, S03 and S05 were converted to training bus and the front door was cancelled later with all windows changed to sealed one.
