After years of purchasing Customs bodied buses, Canberra switched to Bustech at the end of 2016, and orders for Volgrens followed in 2017. However Custom Denning Element electric buses were ordered for 2023 delivery. Both Volgrens and Bustechs were built on Scania K320UB chassis like Bustech VST 719 (BUS719), not even six months old, seen in Belconnen in December 2020. It proclaims itself as "1 of 40 new buses", presumably referring to the batch 682-721 but looking much the same as the previous 30 Bustechs plus the 30 Volgrens. The boot strap lettering proclaims "smooth-efficient-accessible" - same as the previous 60!
