火炭車廠曾是城巴在新界東營運的主要車廠,以應付營運貳部之非專營服務及新界東過海服務。
火炭廠運作期間設有三個廠區,分佈在新竹街、禾上墩街及桂地街。
於 2014 年初,三個分廠用地交回政府並重新發展為駿洋邨。

Fo Tan Depot used to be a major depot for Citybus's operation in New Territories East. In response for non-franchised services and NTE cross-harbour services of OD2.
In early 2014, sites of the three Fo Tan depots were returned to the government and redeveloped into Chun Yeung Estate.

最後光景 Final stages
 

2012 年一個下午,僅餘康豪三兄弟,捷達豪與非專利部的捷聯富豪 B6LE 共聚一堂。當然,左方的 ND 拖車亦早已退役。
One afternoon in 2012, 413-415 (three remaining Cummins engined Olympians), 505 (former Stagecoach) and the JL bodied Volvo B6LE from the non-franchised division gathered together. Of course, the ND tow truck on the left had been retired now.

 
四部車四個不同故事 Four different stories
 

僅僅服務數年便被改裝為無軌電車的 701,基於當時種種技術困難,終其一生亦沒有正式重投服務。在講求低排放引入電動車的今日, 701 可謂超前部署了二十年。
361 和 366 退役後被改裝為雜物房,2014 年和 364 一同遷往西九龍新廠。
新加坡過江龍 A633 退役後一直閒置在各大車廠,經歷多次遷居後獲購入保留。近年更獲城巴官方重新翻修及保留。

701 converted to an electric bus after only six years of service, never returned to service due to technical difficulties and a stillborned plan at the time. In world of low-emission electric vehicles nowadays, 701 was two decades ahead of the trends.
After 18 years of service, Leyland Olympians 361 and 366 were converted into storage rooms and relocated to the new West Kowloon depot along with the 364 in 2014.
After retirement, A633 lay idle in various depots. after several moves, it was purchased and preserved. In recent years, A633 has been refurbished again and preserved by Citybus.
