They also cannot perform even at the level of trucks with similar power to weight ratios because they are so limited in their gearing.

I read one time that a Diesel powered coach would be normally powered by: Each 100 lbs of coachweight by one horsepower. If your coach weighs 48000 lbs, you should have minimum 480 hp engine. In other words, ideally speaking, you should have a 500 hp Diesel. That will make the BB go. BUT, only recently in the last couple years have they powered busses and trucks with that 100 lbs ratio to 1 hp.

I am no expert, but thats what I read. Does make sense though.

300 hp cat on a 37000 lbs coach. (Underpowered, should be 370 to 400 hp)
