Is it a Büssing built under license in another country?
Title: Re: Wendax 772
Post by: Wendax on January 13, 2013, 12:14:53 PM
No Büssing connection, not built under any licence, but from another country than Büssing.

I'm thinking that this could be an early electric truck.  Might this be correct?  If so, I'll try to locate the manufacturer.

My first thought, which I initially dismissed, was Siemens

One hint: it isn't a bare chassis any longer. It has been rebodied.
Title: Re: Wendax 772
Post by: 4popoid on January 15, 2013, 09:14:26 PM
Am I correct in thinking this chassis is/was a truck (perhaps a fire truck), not a bus?
Title: Re: Wendax 772
Post by: Wendax on January 16, 2013, 02:14:03 AM
Way back then chassis were usually used for truck and bus bodies I think. However this chassis was rebodied as a bus.
