Renault Bus!
- Thread starter Haakon
- Start date
A bus company "King Bros" have several of the Renault busses in their fleet. They operate up and down the Pacific Hwy near our place. Also now that Renault owns a big chunk of Mack Trucks I quite often see the big diamond on the front of some semi's. The prime mover is the same shape as a Mack except for the diamond cheers! .
Haakon,
I hope they're not the old Sydney Buses Renault models

To be honest, buses are usually made by a coachbuilder who then fits a motor company's running gear and equipment. Those same bus bodies you see in the above link I know also run Mercedes Benz, MAN and other brands of engines as well.

Renault do make their own busses.. but that one in the picture certainly isnt one of them.
<a href="http://www.transbus.org/construc/renault.html" target="_blank">Renault Bus</a> is a link that shows some. As it says, Berliet and Saviem were combined to be Renault V.I (Véhicules Industriels) in 1978. In combination with IVECO and a further formed company, IRISBUS they then make good looking, Renault designed (as you can see familiar similarity with even the Master, Trafic and the Renault V.I. fleet (www.renaultvi.com).
Eg... <a href="http://www.transbus.org/construc/renault_agora.html$" target="_blank">Renault Agora</a>
They are the buses I usualy catch around Luxembourg (if I catch a bus.

Haakon, I'd estimate that about half of the buses in Perth are Renaults - or at least, the running gear is Renault as pointed out.

Hey, come to canberra, most of the public transport fleet are Mack Renault. Lots of big, shiny Renault Diamonds around here.
