KARRIER MOTORS has introduced a midibus chassis derived from its Dodge Commando 2 lorry.
The new chassis, which competes directly with Leyland's Terrierderived Cub, is available in two versions.
The G08 is a 7.5 tonne 3.4m (lift fin) wheelbase chassis designed for 23-seater bodywork, and the G09 is an 8.6 tonne 4.2m (14ft) wheelbase model designed for 32 seats.
The chassis is powered by a Perkins D6 engine rated to produce 78.2kW (102.2bhp) at 2,800rpm through a Dodge five-speed gearbox. Allison automatic transmission is available as an option.
The first Dodge psv midibus fitted with Reeve Burgess 23 seat bodywork was shown to delegates at the Association of District Councils' Transport Managers' meeting at Plymouth last week.
