ABSTRACT:
A coach or bus of integral construction made up of a lower section, housing engine, suspension and service units and ducts, and an upper section incorporating a passenger saloon. The lower section comprises a sequence of boxes serving simultaneously as structural members and running component enclosures. The box walls are of readily replaceable flat panels. The combination of the upper and lower sections provides a much stiffer structure than heretofore found in conventional constructions.
