• The Geneva PSV and Municipal Motor Show has been launched to take pressure off the overcrowded Swiss Commercial Motor Show, and the plan is that the two annual shows will alternate.
There was a respectable turn-out at Geneva with exhibitors from most of the European countries, though not the IJK. Van Hool scored a notable first for the new European A500 low floor city bus (previously designated the A280) by announcing that it has won an order for the MAN side-engined vehicles from Lausanne's transport authority.
MAN debuted two vehicles at Geneva: the new 'shortie 10.180 bus and the Swiss version of its SL 202 which now features a third door at the extreme rear.
