Abstract:This report is an examination of the small bus manufacturing industry with the objectives of: (1) providing a systematic understanding of the diversity of vehicle types and manufacturers and (2) identifying important economic trends in the industry that have implications on public transit. This study identified five broad categories of small vehicles which have been adapted to transit application. These categories are: school buses; step vans; motor homes; vans and van cutaways; and purpose-built buses. The report discusses the development of the standard bus and small transit bus and gives a history and discussion of the five categories of small vehicles. Some of the findings of the study are that in recent years, there are signs that the industry is maturing with a trend toward fewer, larger, more committed manufacturers of purpose-built vehicles.
