100 Years of Buses | The evolution of buses over the last century

Over the past century, buses have evolved from early motor coaches with wooden bodies and solid tires in the 1920s to modern, low-floor electric vehicles. Key developments include the rise of enclosed double-deckers, the transition from gasoline to diesel, and the introduction of rear-engine designs for higher capacity. Key milestones include

1920s-1930s: Introduction of pneumatic tires, fully enclosed upper decks on double-deckers, and early,, often uncomfortable, motorbuses.
Wartime (1940s): Buses became essential for moving defense workers and, in some cases, transporting troops and cargo.
Post-War/1950s: Shift from wood to metal bodies and the 1958 introduction of rear-engined models like the Leyland Atlantean, which changed bus design.
Modern Era: Implementation of low-floor designs for accessibility and a rapid shift towards electric, zero-emission fleets.
