Dennis Buses and Other Vehicles
Dennis Buses and Other Vehicles
The Dennis company has been building vehicles since 1895, making it the oldest continuously producing British manufacturer. From its origins in a small Guildford shop, the company has grown to become a major bus manufacturer with its products selling around the world. With over 240 photographs, Dennis Buses and Other Vehicles discusses the company's highs and lows, through two world wars, challenging markets and ownership changes. It documents the vehicles produced and their innovative design features, from early cars and street-cleaning machines to vans, buses, trucks, fire engines and ambulances. It gives first-hand descriptions of how, and why, some of the company's most successful products such as the Dart, Trident and Enviro buses evolved. It explains why their once market-leading fire engines are no longer made and analyses the reasons why some products were less successful and explores what happened to parts of the company that were sold over the years. Finally, it considers the company's future opportunities and challenges.
