I have found the details of this bus from a car magazine in HK.
It is called "vetter" but no more further details. I shall post
more if I am possible to do so.

The only hint for the name of the bus is called "vetter". I
don't know the name "vetter" is the bodywork / chassis /
engine or any other thing.

Proof: The car magazine from HK though it was written in traditional chinese.

The vetter shown in this magazine is the livery before all are retired in
1993. The screenshot from TV was the original livery when it entered services
in the 70's.

Vetter was a West German coachbuilder.

German Wikipedia entry: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Vetter_Karosserie-_und_Fahrzeugbau

We have a few other Vetter-bodied buses, for instance /vehicle.php?id=89759 and /vehicle.php?id=70661

So this is a Neoplan N922 with Vetter body?

This is surely not a Neoplan but I don't know whom
made this bus. Neoplan N922 replaced the Vetter in
the 90's.

Perhaps there's some information on this page Link to "www.hkitalk.net" , if anyone understand Chinese?

I'm not sure, but I think that page is about airport buses that can be driven from both ends.
That is two front ends, but no rear ends.

Perhaps that is where James May got his idea for his Alfa-Saab /vehicle_91990-Alfa-Romeo-164-1996.html and /vehicle_92001-SAAB-9000-CSE-1995.html ?

this is one of the very first Niederflur busses developed for that purpose, only!

For conclusion about this bus, this page said that this is not
a Neoplan. Only knows the body is made by Vetter. Whom made
the chassis is still unknown. Please update this page. This bus
is not a Neoplan unless somebody provide more evidence.

Sorry for my very late reply. The magazine scanning I reupload to
this site to avoid mistakenly deleted...

Vetter Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau GmbH was very close to Mercedes-Benz (literally and figuratively), so a Mercedes-Benz chassis is very likely. While I'm not fully convinced they are all the same, these are all unidentified airport buses of that sort in question:

Here are further buses bodied by Vetter and here is no link at all.
