Berliet Bus and Coach Books - History and Models

Berliet : Toute la gamme autobus / autocars - de 1905 à 1978

Christophe Puvilland, undisputed specialist in transport in France and the Berliet brand, paints in four chapters devoted to omnibuses, buses, coaches and trolleybuses a precise and exhaustive portrait of the entire "public transport" range of the great Lyon industrialist.

From 1905 to 1979, from the first type 22 chassis of 1905 to the PER 180, the last trolley model to come off the production line, via the "pig noses" or the essential PR coaches or PCME buses, it is a whole industrial adventure and an entire section of the history of French transport that are offered to the reader of this essential encyclopedia of Berliet public transport vehicles.

Le Berliet PCM - L'autobus urbain par excellence

NEW

A generalist manufacturer, Berliet has left its mark on the coach and bus market. At the beginning of the sixties, the Lyon manufacturer was involved in the study of a new standard bus for the RATP intended to replace all the equipment then in service.
Named PCM R, the latter was selected by the Régie which ordered 750 copies. An innovative model in more than one way, this bus was then offered in a slightly reworked version, the PCM U, to provincial urban transport networks, with whom it met with some success.

Philippe Perez tells us the whole story of these iconic vehicles and their derivatives in detail for the first time in this book which will delight fans and satisfy purists.
