Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Breaking into what has been regarded as a traditionally Leyland market, Bristol Commercial Vehicles Ltd. has obtained part of a new 75-vehicle order from Ulstetbus Ltd.

The 30 Bristols will comprise 10 LH chassis to take 32ft dual-purpose bodywork and 20 R ELL to be equipped as front-entrance, centreexit standee buses for city services. They will have semi-automatic transmissions and Leyland engines, like the 45 Leyland Leopard 36ft chassis which form the bulk of the order.

Forty of the Leopards will take dual-purpose and service bus bodies, but five are destined for express coach services.

Like recent deliveries to Belfast Corporation, all 75 Ulsterbus chassis will have bodywork built by Potters of Belfast Ltd., who are developing designs with a high degree of parts standardization and a construction aimed at providing ease of repair.
