Büssing Lastwagen und Omnibusse - 1903-1971 (Schrader Motor Chronik)
Until the 1980s, the trucks and buses bearing the emblem of the lion were an integral part of the cityscape and travel. For decades, the Braunschweig-based company held a market share of fifty percent in the area of heavy trucks and even more so in the area of urban buses, solo vehicles, articulated vehicles and double-deckers. Büssing also set standards in the construction of coaches.
This volume of the Schrader Motor-Chronik, written by Wolfgang Gebhardt, uses advertising brochures to document the history of the traditional commercial vehicle manufacturer Büssing and its vehicles - a unique compilation of interesting material from seven decades.
Büssing - Nutzfahrzeuge im Zeichen des Löwen 1903-1971
For decades, trucks from Heinrich Büssing AG in Braunschweig were among the technically best and most advanced in the field of commercial vehicles in Germany, but after the takeover by MAN in the early 1970s, the brand with the lion emblem ceased to exist.
In this book, Wolfgang Westerwelle documents the history of Büssing and its trucks from its beginnings to the present day. On around 220 pages, he presents all the important models with their technical features in detail in words and pictures, starting with the first 3-ton truck in 1903 and the Büssing-NAG types up to the last "Burglöwen" in 1971.

Büssing - Nutzfahrzeuge im Zeichen des Löwen 1903-1971
Büssing auf ganzer Linie: Die Linienbusse Senator, Präfekt und Präsident
Büssing was known for building high-quality and reliable buses in addition to heavy and sturdy trucks. Countless bus types and variants left the Braunschweig factory. And with success, because in the 1960s Büssing was at the top of German regular-service bus registrations with its Senator, Prefect and President series. "An attractive, compact vehicle with the driving characteristics of a car, " wrote the trade press at the time.
This book is intended to remind us once again of the legends in bus construction: "Senator", "Präfekt" and "Präsident", which represent a milestone in bus history and are still remembered today. See rare images of the numerous different versions, their use in busy inner cities and the outskirts and many other interesting details. Illustrations of sales brochures and technical information round off the extensive picture section.

Büssing auf ganzer Linie: Die Linienbusse Senator, Präfekt und Präsident
The railway and the post office were the largest individual customers of the legendary commercial vehicle brand Büssing in the bus sector. While the Reichspost already had a considerable Büssing fleet before the Second World War and expanded this significantly from 1949 with the new trambuses and later with groundbreaking new designs, the Reichsbahn was only able to put a few cars with the famous "spider" into service at the front before 1939.
It was only the young Bundesbahn that procured large numbers of units from the Braunschweig factory halls in the 1950s and 1960s. The yellow postal buses and the red railway buses were delivered in a wide variety of models until Büssing's independent bus production ended in 1971/72. Atmospherically dense operational photos of the "Büssing Lions" at the two state-owned companies characterize this EK book.
