In a similar position in Dandenong depot in February 2024 was brand new Custom Endeavour bodied Scania K320CB 1634 (BS11ME). Delivered back in September 2023, along with several others from a batch of seventeen, they all lingered at Dandenong depot for around six months! The order was a surprise as new deliveries had been Volgren bodied for years, with their plant based in Dandenong and the strong ties to Ventura from the Grenda-Volvo partnership that resulted in Volgren in the first place.
