Abstract
Review of general trends in European bus design after World-War II with special attention to the following questions:
-
1.
Integral construction versus separate chassis and body construction.
-
2.
Engine location.
-
3.
Type of engine.
-
4.
Type of transmission.
-
5.
Type of suspension.
-
6.
Styling.
Under each point examples of latest designs by leading European bus manufacturers will be presented.
Study of future trends in European bus design predicted from:
-
1.
Consideration of road designs and traffic, safety and health regulations.
-
2.
Competition from passenger cars - designing for higher comfort and passenger appeal.
-
3.
Operating and maintenance requirements - designing for lower operating and maintenance costs.
