SEVERAL new goods and passenger vehicles are to be exhibited by Bussing Nutzkraftwagen G.m.b.H., Braunschweig, Germany, at the 39th International Motor Show which opens in Frankfurt-am-Main on September 17. The exhibits inalude several passenger chassis with air suspension and a new underfiloor-engined 54-tanner.
The passenger-vehicle exhibits are mostly high-capacity vehicles, including an underfloor-engined double-decker suitable for 100 passengers, similar to double-deckers previously shown by Bussing. The single-deck vehicles include a 100-passenger bus rated for 13 tons gross weight with air suspension at both axles and powered by a 145 b.h.p. horizontal oil engine mounted beneath the floor at the rear.
This engine location has been adopted for a 110-passenger bus also. which has a slightly heavier gross weight rating134 tons—but a smaller engine developing 110 b.h.p. This bus has air suspension at the Tear axle only. A heavier vehicle rated for 16 tons gross and having a capacity for 115 people has air suspension at both axles.
The new goods vehicles include the LU55 Burglowe, which is to be exhibited
in various forms. As a normal 4 x 2 design it is rated for a gross vehicle weight of 9 tons, making it suitable for a payload of about 51 tons, but a 4 x 4 version also is to be shown, the extra weight of the equipment reducing the payload capacity to 41 tons. Both versions have a 110 b.h.p. oil engine mounted under the chassis in a similar manner to that employed on another new chassis—the LU77—which has a gross vehicle weight rating of 12 tons and a payload capacity of approximately 7 tons.
A third underfloor-engined goods chassis is the LU11/16, which is rated for a payload of 9 tons, the gross vehicle weight being 16 tons. The horizontal engine used in this chassis develops 170 b.h.p. A 6 x 4 is to be shown in the open-air park, and this has a maximum gross vehicle weight rating of 221 tons. This vehicle has a conventionally mounted 170 b.h.p. oil engine. The cross-country rating of this vehicle is 18 tons.
The two six-wheeled chassis have been developed primarily for export-, thus they have been designed for operation at higher gross vehicle weights than are permitted in Germany.
