ABSTRACT:
In a bus having a replaceable power drive unit docked in a compartment provided in the rear end of the bus body, jacking devices are provided between the power drive unit and the body for raising the rear end of the body relative to the power drive unit, thereby tilting the body about the axes of the front wheels of the bus as a fulcrum to provide increased working clearance between the body and the bus propulsion engine, which is mounted on the power drive unit. Safety support devices are provided to retain the body in elevated position, and latch devices to retain it in lowered, operative position.
