PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
The DMC-80 is both a proven bus and
a new bus. It is derived from the
widely used VOV I standard bus (over
20,000 now in operation) and from
the four year test of the VOV II, the
prototype for the current
experimental German model, the S
80.
These buses were cooperatively
designed as a compromise between
operators' needs and manufacturers'
desires, in order to rapidly assure a
new generation of acceptable buses
without conflict. Their low floor, wide
door concept was developed to
enhance operations. The placement
of components was designed to
reduce operating costs. The high cost
of fuel mandated a fuel efficient engine.
The DMC-80, in serial production, will
be manufactured in the United States.
It sets new standards for engineering
excellence, innovation, reliability,
passenger comfort, economical
operation and ease of maintenance.
The De Lorean Motor Company - with
support of our goals and concepts
from the transit properties - is
prepared to offer the U.S. market the
first of a new generation of buses.
