Büssing Buses and Coaches: Illustrated History Books & Guides

Büssing-Busse bei Bahn und Post

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.

Büssing Lastwagen und Omnibusse - 1903-1971 (Schrader Motor Chronik)

Until the 1980s, trucks and buses bearing the Welf lion emblem were a familiar sight in cities and in long-distance travel. For many decades, the Braunschweig-based company held a market share of around fifty percent in heavy trucks and, in particular, in city buses, including single-deck, articulated, and double-deck vehicles. Büssing also set important standards in the field of coach building.

This volume of the "Schrader-Motor-Chronik", written by Wolfgang Gebhardt, documents the history of the traditional commercial vehicle manufacturer Büssing and its vehicles through advertising brochures. It brings together unique and informative material from seven decades of company and vehicle history.
