The Leyland-DAB articulated bus was an articulated bus manufactured by Leyland-DAB in Denmark. The Leyland-DAB artic found customers in Denmark, and was the first modern style articulated bus in the United Kingdom , albeit with limited repeat orders.[1]
Leyland, being a mainly British manufacturer, had also had an overseas manufacturing interest in the Danish manufacturer Danish Automobile Building (DAB) since 1953, which used a number of Leyland parts in its own bus models. As a continental manufacturer, it had developed its own articulated bus model as an alternative to Volvo's articulated chassis. These were built with two body designs.
National body type [ edit ]
A South Yorkshire example, now preserved
The first models of 1979 were based on the Leyland National , but were powered by a Saurer 240 bhp underfloor engine and Allison fully-automatic transmission instead of the Leyland components.[2]
Four of these buses saw extended trials in the United Kingdom with the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive , (SYPTE) and were demonstrated with other UK operators, with seven purchased by British Airways .[3] [4] [5]
DAB body type [ edit ]
Later deliveries from 1985 employed all Leyland components again, but with DAB designed bodies. This bus saw use in Denmark.[6] [5] [7]
Australia [ edit ]
In 1980, Australian operator Darwin Bus Service had a Leyland-DAB bodied by Pressed Metal Corporation South Australia .[8]
