{All Rev, No Go} FirstBus Enviro 400 Voith in Limp Mode w/ Kickdown steps out of it's Comfort Zone

Now we all know that most batches of Voith Enviro 400s from the Euro 5 era are completely watered down and only have something to show on a hill where it'll stay in the same gear until thy kingdom come... well... we have a slight difference here. Besides suffering in derate, it's does rev all the way up here! doing what it can to get moving and most certainly not saying no to a downshift. So we're kind of sitting on the fence here... hence the title as yes it is shifting, but is it reallyyy going anywhere. 🤣 Similar mode to the likes of DW201's video which on a normal day is usually heard upshifting very early allowing no room for torque to do it's thing! On a late-night deadrun, ADE40305 is floored through the empty roads, allowing for full acceleration into 4th gear, countless downshifts, some trickery... harnessing some slipping/over-revving downshifts, and a few spells of top speed action! One thing about these Voith's is that one, they'll always sound good regardless of speed, and two... once they're in the final gear and around 35-40mph, they go! So for now take your time and enjoy a Voith E40D singing in it's best efforts until another counterpart enters the room!😉 Enjoy the video! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - Intro 00:10 - Engine Startup 00:16 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd) | Incline 01:17 - Double Kickdown (4th - 3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 01:40 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) x2 02:00 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) up to 48mph 02:56 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) | Redline 03:45 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd), Double Kickdown (4th - 3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 04:13 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd - 4th) | Redline 04:40 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 2nd), (3rd- 2nd - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) 05:12 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) 06:05 - Double Kickdown (4th - 3rd - 2nd - 3rd) | Hillclimb 06:28 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) | Redline 06:44 - Over-Revving Kickdown (4th - 3rd - 4th) 07:07 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) x2 07:26 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st) 07:41 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd), Over-Revving Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 4th) | Redline 08:16 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) up to Top Speed (62mph) 10:01 - Downshift (2nd - 1st), Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 4th) 10:56 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd) x2 11:29 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd) x2 then Over-Revving Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 12:09 - Double Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 1st - 3rd), High Revs (3rd - 4th) 12:40 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 3rd), Over-Revving Kickdown (4th - 3rd) 13:05 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) x2 13:36 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) 14:06 - Handbrake Launch | Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) up to 51mph 15:06 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) 15:30 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) up to 56mph 16:32 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd), (3rd - 2nd) then (3rd - 2nd - 4th) up to 57mph 17:44 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owned By: FirstBus London Registration Plate: YX61 FYR Fleet Number: ADE40305 Bodywork: ADL Enviro 400 Facelift (10.2m) Engine: Cummins ISBe6.7L (250hp) Chassis: ADL E40D Gearbox/Transmission: Voith DIWA D854.5E Emissions: Euro 5 trapped to Euro 6 Depot Allocation: FirstBus London, Hounslow (AV) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔴 Access my playlists here:    / @frozzles   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔵 Any inquiries, DM me on Instagram:   / frozzles   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for watching, Like & Subscribe! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
