Second batch of the buses consists of 70 further vehicles (3AV51-120), which were acquired during 1995-96. These buses are powered by Volvo TD102KF engines with Voith DIWA 863.2 transmission. Starting from this batch of buses, 2+2 seating configuration is adopted. Also, the modified Nippondenso air-condition systems are installed.
3AV121-170 represent the third batch of buses introduced during 1996-97.
The last batch of buses is also the largest one, which involves 168 vehicles (3AV171-338) which were acquired in 1997.
Mechanic specifications are not the same for the buses in the last two batches. Early buses are powered by Volvo TD102KF engines with Voith DIWA 863.2 transmission, while the later vehicles are powered by EURO II standard Volvo D10A engines, with ZF 4HP500 transmission.
Ten buses, 3AV339-348, were new to Long Win Bus (LWB) in 1997, and were also the first members of the LWB fleet. They are later transferred to KMB, after the introduction of Dennis Tridents to LWB.
