Probably to satisfy the state government, Dysons received 14 K310UB Scanias with Gemilang bodywork, three in Augsut 2021 and the rest in January 2021, this is one of those eleven, 1212 (BS06JJ). Gemilang bodies are built in Malaysia but the state government "persuaded" them to open a factory in Victoria. Transdev had been a major Gemilang customer, but Dyson has stuck to Volgren since these deliveries. The fourteen have been difficult to track down, though all are based at Bundoora. This was the third trip to try and track them down outside the depot.
