Buses, trucks and car designer-builder Cerizay HEULIEZ France I

Heuliez was created in 1920 by Adolphe Heuliez, who started by making horse-drawn carts. As early as 1925, he assembled his first car, a Peugeot 177B.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_Type_177

He also created a subsidiary company for the production of buses, which was later sold.

Towards the end, however, the main product of Heuliez is the retractable roof made for the Peugeot 206 CC.

(The Peugeot 206 CC (sometimes spelled as 206CC) was formally launched at the Paris Motor Show in September 2000 and was based on the Peugeot Two-oh-heart concept car, revealed two years before at the Geneva Motor Show. It is a coupé cabriolet featuring a powered fold-away roof based on the Georges Paulin system, first seen on the 1935 Peugeot 402 Eclipse coupe.

It was produced in Cerizay, France, by the French company Heuliez, which is specialized in producing short series for niche markets, such as convertibles or station-wagons. Production was stopped in early 2008, and it has since been replaced by the 207 CC )

350,000 units have been produced. It also produced entire cars, such as the Opel Tigra.

(After an absence of four years, Opel resurrected the Tigra nameplate in 2004 for a new sports car based on the third generation Opel Corsa.^[3] The Tigra TwinTop, as it was called in Opel markets, was a two-seater coupé convertible with a retractable hardtop in the fashion of the Peugeot 206 CC. It was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2004 and was produced by French coachbuilder Heuliez)

Since 1985, Heuliez has produced more than 450,000 cars, with a staff of over 2,000. More recently, however, poor sales of the Tigra forced Heuliez to reduce its staff by 541 and Opel asked Heuliez to reduce its output from 200 to 50 cars/day until the end of 2006.

In October 2007, Heuliez asked for protection from creditors. In July 2008 Argentum Motors committed to investing ten million Euros in the business with a further ten million Euros during the ensuing five year in return for 60% pf the company’s capital, but the agreement was not followed through.

Heuliez is trying to put a four-door convertible, similar to the Peugeot 407 Macarena prototype, into production within the next five years.

2007 Peugeot 407 Heuliez Macarena

The main production plant is located in Cerizay in the Deux-Sèvres département. The president of Heuliez is Paul Quéveau.

Since 2010, Heuliez went out of convertible roof top making business.

Business activity ended on 31 October 2013. The company’s plant and buildings have been taken over by the “Fabrique régionale du Bocage”, a quasi-company which has the regional government of Poitou-Charentes as its majority share-holder.

I’m going to show you al lot of models Heuliez made in it’s history.

In 1961, it commenced building of articulated vehicles, some of which were supplied to operators in the United States and Canada in 1975. The company soon began to expand, and businesses were set up in Portugal and Australia in 1957 and 1978. respectively. The U.S. business was set up in 1996. The company began production of low-floor buses and trolleybuses in 1991, and in 2003 built its first double-articulated trolleybuses.

Hansa (car)

 

Hansa G 12/36 Renntorpedo (1914)

Hansa 1700 Sport

Hansa 1100 von 1937

Hansa was a German car brand, which was part of the Borgward group. Hansa was based in Bremen.

The Hansa-Lloyd company, in the Bremen suburb as Hastedt, had been established as a car and truck makers since 1905.

Hansa-Lloyd-Werke was bought in 1929 by Carl F. W. Borgward because the factory was conveniently located opposite to his own Goliath factory on Föhrenstrasse in Bremen Hastedt. The range of trucks of Hansa-Lloyd was complementing the Goliath range, and the purchase allowed Carl Borgward to fulfill his dream to produce his own cars.

Zie ook hoofdstuk over Borgward.

Carl Borgward stopped Hansa-Lloyd’s production of luxury cars, but continued its line of trucks. The Hansa Konsul and Hansa Matador were introduced and shortly thereafter the small rear-engined Hansa 400 and 500.

In April 1933 the tax rules which were favoring small cars such as the Hansa 400 were abolished. Hansa decided to produce the new Hansa 1100 four-cylinder two-door all-steel Sedan, and then the six-cylinder 1700 and 2000. The 2000 carries the Borgward brand. The name Hansa started to be phased out, becoming Hansa Borgward, then Borgward Hansa and finally Borgward.

In the Second World War, the factory was completely destroyed.

Hanomag

Geschiedenis

In 1905 introduceert het bedrijf Hanomag haar eerste bedrijfswagen, nadat het in 1825 als een machinefabriek was opgericht. Hanomag (Hannoverische Maschinenbau AG).

De firma Vidal & Sohn Tempo-Werk GmbH kwam uit een kolenhandel voort, alwaar men het gat in de markt voor een driewieler met een motor die kleiner was als 350cc gebruikte om bestelwagens te maken. De markt was interessant omdat men voor deze wagens geen rijbewijs nodig had en ook geen belasting hoefde te betalen. Later ging het ook militaire wagens maken en vierwielige bestelwagens. Het werd overgenomen door Hanomag.

Auto’s
In 1924 produceerde het haar wellicht bekendste product, de Hanomag 2/10 pk, bijgenaamd Kommissbrot (Komiezenbroodje), vanwege de vorm. Dit zeer kleine wagentje dat maar 1,04 meter breed was werd aangedreven door een 499cc motortje die het lichte voertuigje tot 60km/u opstuwde. Het was zo goedkoop mogelijk gemaakt en daardoor populair. De allergoedkoopste versie daarentegen was niet zo populair, omdat die een rieten carrosserie had. Deze vorm werd dan al snel gestopt.

Hanomag besluit ook grotere auto’s te maken, maar bouwt het langzaam op. Eerst met een 746cc 3/16pk model, in 1934 een volwaardige auto, de Garant. Later volgde de Kurier en Rekord. Deze auto’s waren zeer populair. De auto’s hadden vrij moderne 1,1 tot 1,5 liter motoren en onafhankelijke wielophanging. Later volgde de Sturm met een zes-cylinder motor. De 1,3 werd in 1938 geïntroduceerd en werd ook na de oorlog geproduceert. Het type Partner dat men na de oorlog wou produceren kwam jammer genoeg nooit echt van de grond.

Vrachtauto’s
Hanomag bouwde stoomtreinen en het was dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat men in 1905 begon met trucks op basis van stoomtechniek. Dit bleek niet zo’n succes en men besloot al snel op dieselmotoren over te gaan. van vlak voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog tot ongeveer 1950 was Hanomag in Duitsland marktleider op het gebied van vrachtauto’s. Nadat men een mislukte serie tweetakt diesels op de markt brengt, zakt de vraag iets in.

Ondanks de goede naam, moet het in 1969 fuseert het met Henschel om Hanomag-Henschel te vormen. In 1971 volgt de overname door Mercedes-Benz, die de Hanomag F25 onder eigen naam op de markt brengt.

Voor Hanomag is dit nog niet het einde, Hanomag wordt als merknaam gekocht door een Duitse magnaat, en ondergracht in IBH, dat in 1984 failliet ging. Hanomag werd in 1989 door Komatsu overgenomen, die de naam Hanomag sinds 2005 niet meer gebruikt.

Buses body + coach builders HAINJE Heerenveen The Netherlands

Hainje was een Nederlandse carrosseriefabriek en busbouwer in Heerenveen die op 11 november 1907 werd opgericht door Bartele Hainje.

Het bedrijf werd bekend als hoofdproducent van de CSA-standaardstadsbus en nam ook deel aan de bouw van de standaard streekbus. Hainje is op 1 januari 1989 overgenomen door de Berkhof Groep te Valkenswaard, die op zijn beurt werd overgenomen door de VDL Groep.

Het bedrijf is sinds najaar 2010 als VDL Bus Heerenveen onderdeel van de busdivisie VDL Bus & Coach van de VDL Groep.

Geschiedenis

Bartele Hainje kwam als knecht uit Roordahuizum naar Heerenveen. Hij verdiende een loon van elf gulden in de week. In november 1907 kocht hij met tachtig gulden in de kas en een geleend kapitaal van 2000 gulden een Heerenveens bedrijf en begon zijn Rijtuig- en wagenmakerij B. Hainje. In het bedrijf werden onder meer kruiwagens en bakkerskarren gemaakt. In 1922 vroeg een klant om een “bak” op een Ford-chassis te bouwen. Deze bus was het begin van de carrosserie- en bussenbouw in de fabriek van Hainje. In 1925 droeg Bartele Hainje het bedrijf over aan zijn zoon Abe, die een halve eeuw directeur bleef. Door het personeel werd in 1957 ter gelegenheid van 50 jaar een maquette van de fabriek gemaakt. Ook toen het na 1962 geen familiebedrijf meer was, bleven de Hainjes aan de leiding, want in 1975 nam zijn zoon Bart Hainje de directie over.

De fabriek was jarenlang gevestigd aan het zuideinde van de Leeuwarderstraatweg te Heerenveen. Later werd aan de Leeuwarderstraatweg een nieuwe vestiging gebouwd, ruim 200 meter noordelijker dan de eerste. Op 14 november 1980 legde Abe Hainje de eerste steen voor de nieuwbouw op het industrieterrein Area Kanaal aan de Wetterwille te Heerenveen. Reeds op 17 augustus 1981 reed als opening de eerste bus van de band.

In 1962 werd Hainje een dochteronderneming van de Verenigde Machinefabrieken (VMF), waarvan ook Werkspoor–Utrecht deel uitmaakte. Omdat de uurtarieven die Werkspoor-Utrecht in rekening moest brengen te hoog werden – en ook omdat de streekvervoerbedrijven van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen geen afnamegarantie wilden afgeven – had Werkspoor de bouw van bussen gestaakt, waarna die naar Hainje werd overgeheveld. Hainje bleef door de overname wel volledig zelfstandig. In de jaren ’60 ging het slecht met VMF. Bij Werkspoor vielen massaontslagen: 1900 mensen kwamen op straat te staan. In 1965 ging VMF verder onder de naam Verenigde Machinefabrieken-Stork. In 1971 werd Hainje ondergebracht bij Stork.

De naam Hainje verdween op 1 januari 1989 nadat het bedrijf werd overgenomen door de Berkhof Groep. Deze wijzigde de naam in Berkhof Heerenveen. Volgens oprichter-directeur A.G. Berkhof was de naamswijziging noodzakelijk omdat Hainje op dat moment, zoals hij zei, een “kwaliteitsprobleem” had en vrijwel uitsluitend werd geassocieerd met standaard-stadsbussen. Andere door Berkhof overgenomen bedrijven zoals Kusters en het Belgische Jonckheere (nu VDL Bus Roeselare) mochten hun naam behouden. Het huidige VDL Bus Heerenveen bouwt in de vestiging Heerenveen nog immer vooral stads- en streekbussen.

Hainje-producten

Stads- en streekbussen

Al in de jaren 1950 en 1960 bouwde Hainje enkele series stadsbussen voor de RET. Voor het streekvervoer op het platteland kwamen in die periode veel Scania-Vabis– en DAF-bussen uit deze fabriek.

Het bedrijf ging nadat de Werkspoor busdivisie was overgenomen vanaf 1962 ook zelfdragende bussen met Leyland-componenten bouwen, deels van het type bolramer, in licentie van Werkspoor. Doordat Hainje vanaf de jaren zestig steeds meer overging op seriebouw voor grote stads- en streekvervoerders en daardoor geen maatwerk meer kon leveren, moesten trouwe klanten als de Friese particuliere busbedrijven LABO, LAB en ZWH uitwijken naar andere busbouwers, zoals Smit Joure.

Standaard-stadsbus

Hainje werd vooral bekend door de rode standaardbus (CSA). Dit bustype werd gebouwd tussen 1966 en 1988. Het ontwerp was gekocht van Werkspoor. Hainje was wel verantwoordelijk voor de bouw van verreweg de meeste bussen van dit type. Een beperkt aantal standaardbussen is in de late jaren zestig gebouwd door derden, namelijk Verheul en Den Oudsten. In 1982 presenteerde Hainje de tweede generatie standaardbus. Deze werd geproduceerd tot en met 1988.

In 1977 toonde Hainje een gelede bus voor het GVB Amsterdam met een standaardbus-carrosserie. In de jaren ’80 ontwikkelde Hainje ook enkele korte midibussen met een standaardbus-carrosserie.

Standaard-streekbus

In de jaren 1974-1984 bouwde Hainje ook de standaardstreekbus. Deze bussen op DAF-chassis werden geleverd aan BBA, Centraal Nederland, DVM, GADO, NZH, VAD en ZWN. Ook werden er bussen op Volvo-chassis gebouwd, voornamelijk aangeschaft door BBA, Tensen, VAD, CAO en TET.

Standaardbus 2000

In 1987 presenteerde Hainje de Standaardbus 2000, bedoeld als opvolger van de standaard-stadsbus. Omdat het principe standaardisatie werd afgeschaft is van deze opzet weinig terechtgekomen. Dit type bus werd voornamelijk geleverd aan de Zuidooster. In 1989 ontwierp Duvedec een moderner front voor de Standaardbus 2000.

Buses and much more HÄGGLUND + SÖNER Sweden

Hägglund & Söner

AB Hägglund & Söner is een merk van militaire producten, vliegtuigen, railvoertuigen, bussen en motorfietsen. Het bedrijf was gevestigd te Örnsköldsvik en Falun. Het bedrijf ontstond in 1899 in Örnsköldsvik als houtbewerkingsbedrijf, waar diverse producten gemaakt werden. Men produceerde meubels, maar ook houten trainingsvliegtuigen. Vanaf 1957 ging men zich richten op de productie van militaire voertuigen, nadat er eerst een regeringsopdracht voor de productie van tanktorens was binnengehaald. In eerste instantie produceerde men voor het Zweedse leger. Tegenwoordig worden Hägglunds voertuigen over de hele wereld verkocht. In 1997 werd AB Hägglund & Söner opgekocht door het Britse bedrijf Alvis Plc, waardoor het korte tijd Alvis Hägglunds AB heette. Sinds 2003 maakt Hägglunds deel uit van het Britse concern BAE Systems (British Aerospace) onder de naam BAE Systems Hägglunds. In dit concern zijn een groot aantal bedrijven ondergebracht, waaronder ook de Zweedse wapenfabrikant Bofors.

Motorfietsen

Hägglunds begon in 1971 met de ontwikkeling van bijzondere, voor militaire doeleinden bestemde motorfietsen. De Hägglunds-terreinmachines hadden vaak een eigen 345 cc motor met automatische versnellingsbak en cardanaandrijving hoewel er ook 293 cc Sachs– en Bombardier-Rotax–tweetakten werden gebruikt. De motorfietsen hadden een aantal bijzondere kenmerken. De automatische versnellingsbak van het eerste model, de XM 72, was feitelijk een Hägglund-DAF variomatic, waarbij de riem in een gesloten tunnel naar het achterwiel liep. In het monocoqueframe werd lucht aangezogen die door een luchtpomp onder druk in de aandrijftunnel werd gepompt. Door deze overdruk konden zand en water niet bij de riem komen. Bij het model XM 72 hadden beide wielen een enkelzijdige ophanging. De latere XM 74 had een conventionele telescoopvork aan de voorkant, een ruggengraat frame en cardanaandrijving. Vanaf 1974 was er ook een burgeruitvoering leverbaar, maar het werd geen commercieel succes. De Hägglunds motorfietsen werden van 1973 tot 1978 geproduceerd. Het Zweedse leger heeft een aantal exemplaren aangekocht, maar schakelde in 1976 over op Husqvarna motorfietsen.

Bv Serie

De Bandvagn 206 (BV-206) is een militair rupsvoertuig van de firma Hägglunds dat door het Korps Mariniers wordt gebruikt als “All Terrain Carrier”. Het korps beschikt sinds begin jaren ’90 over 156 voertuigen van dit type. Ze zijn ingezet tijdens operaties in onder andere Cambodja, Bosnië, Haïti, Eritrea en Irak en blijken onder de verschillende klimaat- en terreinomstandigheden goed te voldoen. Het voertuig is ontworpen voor het vervoer van max.16 personen of goederen en de carrosserie bestaat voornamelijk uit polyester. De Bandvagn is een amfibievoertuig, dat met 3 km/u kan varen. Er bestaan verschillende uitvoeringen voor onder andere gewondentransport en goederenvervoer. De BV-206 FRT is een monteursvariant met een hydraulische lier en kasten voor gereedschap. Alle varianten bestaan uit twee delen die door middel van een flexibele koppeling met elkaar verbonden zijn. Sommige varianten hebben een ringaffuit waarop een mitrailleur gemonteerd kan worden.

De BV-206 heeft in de meeste uitvoeringen geen wapen en is niet gepantserd. Daardoor is de bemanning kwetsbaar. Het Korps Mariniers beschikt onder andere om die reden over voertuigen van het type BV-S10 Viking die ingezet worden onder omstandigheden waar bepantsering gewenst is.

CV90 Serie

Het Combat Vehicle 90 (CV90) of Stridsfordon 90 (Strf 90) is een Zweeds infanteriegevechtsvoertuig ontwikkeld door Hägglunds/Bofors en momenteel geproduceerd door BAE Systems Hägglunds. Een versie, de CV9035NL, is in dienst bij het Nederlandse Leger.

Buses and more GRÄF + STIFT —— ÖAF Vienna Austria

Gräf & Stift was an Austrian manufacturer of automobiles, trucks, buses and trolleybuses, from 1902 until 2001, latterly as a subsidiary of MAN. Founded in 1902 by the brothers Franz, Heinrich and Karl Gräf, and the investor, Wilhelm Stift. Before the Second World War, the company was a well-known manufacturer of luxury automobiles, including the one that famously took part in the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. By the 1930s Gräf & Stift had begun making trucks and buses, and it ceased car manufacturing in 1938. The company merged with Österreichische Automobil Fabriks-AG (ÖAF) in 1971, becoming ÖAF-Gräf & Stift AG, and later the same year was taken over by MAN AG. It continued in business as a subsidiary of MAN, and the Gräf & Stift name remained in use as an MAN brand for the Austrian market and for trolleybuses until 2001, when ÖAF-Gräf & Stift AG was renamed MAN Sonderfahrzeuge AG. It was located in Vienna, and the production facilities continue in use there, but no longer using the Gräf & Stift name.

The beginnings

The Gräf brothers started a bicycle service workshop in Vienna in 1893, quickly branching out into bicycle manufacturing. Their bicycles sold well, requiring the company to relocate to be able to increase capacity. While the bicycle business in Europe was booming, the brothers also saw potential in the fledgling automobile, and commissioned Josef Kainz to design one. The result was an unusual voiturette with by a one-cylinder De Dion-Bouton engine fitted in front of the vehicle, powering the front axle, built sometime between 1895 and 1898, according to various sources. It was thus arguably the world’s first front-wheel drive automobile, but it never saw mass production, with only one copy ever made, even though the technology was eventually patented in 1900. However, the voiturette remained in regular use until 1914 and was in working condition yet at the dawn of the 1970s.

Partnership with Willy Stift

In 1901, the brothers started cooperating with the Austrian businessman Wilhelm (Willy) Stift, an automobile importer who had already ventured into automobile manufacturing under the marque Celeritas. Celeritas automobiles were then assembled using French engines at the Gräf workshops, and in 1904 the gentlemen founded a joint company, named Gräf & Stift. Later, the company manufactured automobiles for the Spitz brand, owned by the automobile vendor Arnold Spitz. When Spitz went bankrupt in 1907, Gräf & Stift started building automobiles under their own brand.

The company concentrated on large, sophisticated and luxurious cars, which became popular with the Austrian aristocracy and even the Habsburg royal family. Apart from luxury cars, Gräf & Stift also became an important manufacturer of buses as well as tram bodies.

Assassination in Sarajevo

The 1911 Gräf & Stift Double Phaeton in which the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was riding at the time of his assassination on June 28, 1914

Main article: Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

One of the Gräf & Stift luxury limousines, a Double Phaeton (engine no. 287), was bought by Count Franz von Harrach on 15 December 1910. Harrach’s car was fitted with a four-cylinder engine delivering 32 PS. In 1914 in Sarajevo, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife rode together with Harrach in this car, whenGavrilo Princip assassinated the Archduke. The assassination provoked a series of diplomatic manoeuvres that quickly led to declarations of war and the onset of the First World War.

Between the wars

1928 Gräf & Stift.

As the war broke out, Gräf & Stift started manufacturing trucks in order to meet wartime demand, which, together with buses and special vehicles, became the company’s main business and enabled it to flourish in a rather difficult time. Manufacturing of passenger cars was resumed only in 1920, with a 2-litre intermediate-size model, Typ VK. The VK remained in production until 1928 (since 1926 as the modernized VK 2), but already in 1921 Gräf & Stift returned to making luxury cars, with a range of large six-cylinder models available through the 1920s and early 1930s. In 1930, the company presented its first eight-cylinder car, the sumptuous Typ Sp 8, in 1937 superseded by the Sp 9.

To acquire necessary volume to assure the profitability of carmaking business, Gräf & Stift also launched smaller models, badged G 35, G 36 and G 8, powered by a 4.6-litre eight-cylinder engine. To cater for lower segments of the market, the company entered an agreement with Citroën, assembling one of the French automaker’s models as the MF 6 in 1935-36 (it had a 2.65-litre six-cylinder engine, with Gräf & Stift having had ceased the manufacturing of their own six-cylinders in 1935). Later, a joint-venture was started with Ford of Cologne, which provided for eight-cylinder Ford-licensed vehicles, badged Gräf-Ford V8, to be assembled by Gräf & Stift.

Neither of those ventures proved successful enough to assure the profitability of the passenger car business of Gräf & Stift, so the company decided to pull out of it. Its last own model was the rather modern C 12, fitted with a new twelve-cylinder engine, which was only made in very limited numbers in 1938, when the company ceased automobile production to concentrate on truck and bus manufacturing.

After World War II

Gräf & Stift remained in the truck and bus manufacturing business after 1945, continuing as a family-owned enterprise, being run by members of the Gräf family. The company built its first trolleybuses in 1948.

MAN subsidiary

In 1971 the company merged with Österreichische Automobil Fabriks-AG (ÖAF) to form ÖAF-Gräf & Stift AG, which in turn was taken over by MAN AG the same year. ÖAF-Gräf & Stift AG continued manufacturing under that name, as a subsidiary of MAN. Still based in Vienna, it was focused on supplying trucks and buses for the Austrian market, mostly based on MAN designs, and additionally specialised in trolleybuses. It was MAN’s main trolleybus producer in the 1980s and 1990s, and these were sold under the Gräf & Stift name, with trolleybuses’ being supplied to several European cities, including Salzburg, Solingen and Bergen(Norway), among others.

As of 31 December 2000, ÖAF-Gräf & Stift AG had 897 employees, and its sales for the six-month period from 1 July 2000 through 31 December 2000 (the company’s “Short Fiscal Year 2000”) totalled €111 million.

Use of the longstanding Gräf & Stift name ended in 2001, when MAN renamed the company MAN Sonderfahrzeuge AG, as part of reorganizations following its June 2001 acquisition of Neoplan. This in turn became MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Österreich AG in 2004. In that year, MAN built a new plant on Gräf & Stift’s original site in the Liesing district of Vienna and continues to be the biggest employer in the area.

ÖAF is an initialism for Österreichische Automobil-Fabrik, previously known as Österreichische Austro-Fiat, an Austrian (Austro-Hungarian) car and truck manufacturer.

 Austro-Fiat

ÖAF was created by FIAT in 1907 and is now part of the German MAN group. The manufacture of automobiles began in the new plant built for the occasion in Vienna in 1908, while the number was only 50 employees. A truck of 4 tonnes, similar to the Italian Fiat model was manufactured from 1911. It was originally Austro-Fiat, which during the First World War began to develop their own products.

In 1925 the Austro-Fiat brand expired and the company became Osterreichische Automobil Fabrik AG, under the abbreviation ÖAF, with preservation of the trademark filed earlier. Also in 1925, a separate company took over sales of Italian FIAT cars, and Austro-Fiat became affiliated with Austro-Daimler and Puch. The last private car, Type 1001A, was different from the earlier Type 1001, having 34 bhp (25 kW) engines and conventional rear axles.

The latest model Fiat’s truck was TS 1924, equipped with a 45 hp (34 kW) Fiat engine. The company began production of other models in Austria, which has enabled the company to begin developing its own models. The most popular submitted in 1925 was the AFN light truck AFN with 1.75 tons of payload. This truck used a 42 hp 4 Cylinder Fiat engine 2850 cc, it also used gimbals and real tires, not solid tires, which allowed for a speed of 65 km/h. In 1928, the AF2 appeared and the following year a bus called the Austro-Fiat-1001. It is from this time that the company discontinued the manufacture of passenger cars to concentrate on commercial vehicles, trucks, vans and buses. This allowed the AFL/AFY to be manufactured from 1930 to 1937.

MAN acquisition[edit]

Austrian Army ÖAF-sLKW truck

In 1938, when Austria was annexed by the Third Reich, German MAN obtained the majority of shares owned by Fiat in ÖAF, reducing the Italian firm’s share to 15%. ÖAF had begun equipping some of its trucks with diesel engines from MAN in 1934.

After the Second World War, the Floridsdorf factory was in the Russian zone and the plants were used for Russian reparations. In 1955, ÖAF was released from these payments and the factory began producing trucks again. They went to Austria to build military trucks but the Austrian army eventually selected rival Steyr for its famous Pinzgauer. The Tornado was ÖAF’ s challenger, best-selling truck in Austria.

In 1970, the company was privatized again; MAN then let it merge with Gräf & Stift, out of which ÖAF Gräf & Stift arose which in 1971 was fully taken over by MAN.

GUY

Guy Motors was a Wolverhampton-based vehicle manufacturer that produced cars, lorries, buses and trolleybuses. The company was founded by Sydney S. Guy (1885-1971) who was born in Kings Heath, Birmingham. Guy Motors operated out of its Fallings Park factory from 1914 to 1982, playing an important role in the development of the British motor industry.

History

Foundation and the First World War

Sydney S. Guy registered Guy Motors Limited on Saturday 30 May 1914, the same day he departed his position as Works Manager at the Wolverhampton company, Sunbeam. A factory was built on the site at Fallings Park, Wolverhampton. and by September 1914 production was underway on the newly designed 30cwt lorry. This employed a much lighter form of pressed steel frame, unlike the more commonly used heavy rolled steel channel frames of the time. This made the vehicle able to cross difficult terrain and a 14 seat poster bus built based on the design was used for crossing the Scottish Highlands.

1914 Guy’s 14 seater bus designed for use in the highlands

In 1915 Guy came under control of the Ministry of Munitions and production was focused on the war effort. The factory continued to produce 30cwt lorries which were supplied to Britain’s allies in the First World War. They also produced Wasp and Dragonfly radial aircraft engines, Tylor truck engines and Maudslay gearboxes as well as being the country’s largest maker of depth charge fuzes. For their efforts during the war Guy received a commendation from William Weir, Secretary of State for Air. Due to orders from the ministry Guy prospered during the war, expanding its factory and became an established name in British manufacturing.

1920s

The post-war period was difficult for the motor industry as military contracts were cancelled and military vehicles no longer required for service were sold onto the market at low prices. Guy returned to the civilian market, deciding to make luxury cars with a design by RH Rose, also from Sunbeam. They produced the Guy 8-cylinder car, powered by the first British V8 engine and featuring horizontal side valves. Around 25 of these were made and it was joined by a smaller model in 1922 with the 2465 cc four-cylinder 16.9 hp. A cheaper model followed in 1924 with the 1954 cc 13/36 with an engine from Coventry Climax. About 110 of the 4-cylinder models are thought to have been made. Production also continued on vehicles based on the 30cwt chassis such as the Guy charabanc and their major success the 30 seater bus.

In 1924 the company adopted the slogan ‘Feathers in our Cap’ which led to the addition of a Native American mascot to their vehicles. 1924 also saw Guy produce the first ever dropped frame chassis for passenger vehicles (the B-type). This design allowed passengers to enter buses in a single step and became extremely popular, Guy receiving an order for 170 from Rio de Janeiro.

Growing populations in towns and cities meant larger capacity buses were a necessity, leading Guy to develop a 6-wheeled version of their dropped-frame chassis which allowed for the introduction of the first 6-wheeled double decker buses and 6 wheeled trolleybuses in 1926. Guy double decker buses and trolleybuses would prove popular with a fleet of double deckers sold to the London Public Omnibus Company and exports supplied all around the world. Exports served as a major source of income for Guy with sales to South Africa, Pakistan, India and the Netherlands, their armoured vehicles proving particularly popular for covering difficult terrain with 100 supplied to the Indian government in 1928.

Guy’s first military vehicle produced in 1923

In 1928 Guy took control of fellow Wolverhampton manufacturer the Star Motor Company, who had seen declining sales throughout the decade, in an attempt to expand their luxury car manufacturing. Under Guy, Star Motors moved to a new factory in Bushbury and the range of vehicles was narrowed to prevent competition against itself. Despite this Star continued to struggle and a loss was made on every car sold. The Wall Street Crash had a crippling effect on industry and the subsequent recession meant Guy could no longer afford to fit out Star’s Bushbury plant and in 1932 the company entered receivership.

Despite performing well throughout the decade, by the end of the 1920s Guy was facing an uncertain future due to the takeover of Star and the Wall Street Crash which had seen share prices fall from one pound to one shilling.

1930s

Guy was able to endure the depression due to orders from the war office and by taking advantage of the 1930 Road Traffic Act which encouraged the development of lighter vehicles. In 1933 the Arab bus chassis, designed for use with diesel engines, was launched and would prove a mainstay of Guy’s success for the next twenty years.

From the mid-1930s, the company became increasingly involved in the British rearmament programme, developing and producing military vehicles. In 1935 Guy submitted their new four wheel Ant armoured car to military trials where it impressed and 150 were ordered by the government. After this success Guy began to concentrate solely on the production of military vehicles and by 1938 Guy relied exclusively on Government contracts and had ended civilian productions. During this time Guy designed a new armoured car, the Quad Ant, which was welded rather than riveted together. This development made armoured vehicles much safer and is reported to have saved the British government £100 million, earning Guy a commendation from the Royal Commission.

1948 The Arab Mark IV, Guy’s most successful bus design

World War Two

Guy armoured vehicles were used throughout the war, featuring prominently in the North African campaign and at the evacuation of Dunkirk. Although production of the Ant and Quad Ant were moved to Karrier the factory was still involved in the war effort producing anti-aircraft guns.

Passenger car sales in the UK virtually ceased during the war, which was accordingly a good time to be a UK bus manufacturer, and more than 2,000 Guy double-decker buses entered service between 1942 and 1945. The Ministry of Supply had ordered Guy to produce a chassis suitable for double decker buses, the blitzhaving resulted in a shortage of buses. In 1942 Guy launched the Arab utility deck bus based on their original 1933 design, but with a frame of identical shape to the Leyland Titan TD8. It was immediately successful due to its reliability and low running costs. The company’s contribution to the war effort established them as a leading supplier for the government and meant they were financially stable heading into the post-war years.

Post-War Years

After the war Guy returned to civilian production with bus production remaining a mainstay and retaining a strong emphasis on export sales to their major markets including South Africa, Pakistan and the Netherlands. In 1948 Guy acquired Sunbeam Commercial Vehicles Limited and from then on all trolleybuses produced (except some for UK operators carrying Karrier badges) carried the Sunbeam name. Trolleybuses continued to sell well with the Sunbeam becoming the most popular model in South Africa.

The Sunbeam Double-Decker Trolleybus

Guy continued to update their old models, introducing a new version of the Otter chassis in 1950 for 30-seater vehicles and 84 were ordered by London Transport. By 1954 Guy passenger vehicles were operated by 150 companies in the UK and in 26 countries abroad. The company developed the first 30 ft two-axle double-deck trolleybus chassis in 1954, the Sunbeam F4A, which could seat 68 passengers.

1954 The Otter Tractor Vehicle

In 1957 Sydney Guy retired after 43 years with the company. Guy continued to develop new models of chassis, introducing updated versions of the Otter and Warrior models and the high performance Victory chassis. However an ill-advised decision to take South African sales in house proved an extreme strain on the company’s finances. Combined with their attempt to develop a new double decker chassis this would prove highly damaging for Guy’s future. Launched in 1958 the Wulfrunian promised many innovations in its design but crucially lacked the reliability upon which Guy had built its name.

The decline of the company

Although new designs such as the Warrior Mark II were being produced and despite the fact their lorries were performing well by 1960 Guy faced seemingly insurmountable financial problems. The failure of the Wulfrunian was a commercial disaster and the operation in South Africa was losing them £300,000 a year.

By 1961 Guy had no choice but to enter receivership. Sir William Lyons, managing director of Jaguar, acquired the company for £800,000, transferring its assets to a new company, Guy Motors (Europe) Limited which left all the liabilities with the now defunct Guy Motors Limited the name eventually reverting to “Guy Motors Ltd” in 1966. Jaguar immediately set about rationalisation, decreasing the number of employees and the range of vehicles in production.

Guy continued to be successful throughout the 1960s with the development of the Victory trambus and the Big J series of trucks. The Big J was designed around a new Cummins V6 engine, and was intended for motorway operation. However a series of mergers by their parent company had left them in a precarious situation In 1966 Jaguar had merged with the British Motor Corporation to form British Motor Holdings. This company had then merged with Leyland in 1968 to form the British Leyland Motor Corporation. Leyland ceased the production of Guy badged buses in 1972 although Leyland badged versions of the Guy Victory were produced at Wolverhampton and Leyland until 1986. Despite the mergers the British motor industry continued on a generally downward trend and British Leyland looked for where it could make savings.

Guy Motors was able to postpone closure due to the success of its Big J range which meant it was one of the few companies owned by British Leyland operating at a profit. Despite this in 1981 Leyland decided to close the Fallings Park plant as part of a rationalisation drive and in August 1982 the doors were shut at the cost of 740 jobs. On 5 October the factory was stripped clean and the contents auctioned.

Groenewold (carrosseriebouwer)

Groenewold Carrosserie B.V. – oorspronkelijk genaamd Groenewold’s Carrosseriefabriek – te Hoogezand is een Nederlands bedrijf dat van 1947 tot 1967 carrosserieën bouwde van touringcars en van autobussen voor het openbaar vervoer.

Geschiedenis

Het bedrijf kwam voort uit de firma Groenewold & Smit te Appingedam, die sinds 1935 bestond als voortzetting van het carrosseriebedrijf van A. en H. Bos. Na de bevrijding besloten de eigenaren Groenewold en Smit uiteen te gaan en voor zichzelf te beginnen. Smit bleef gevestigd in Appingedam en Groenewold bouwde in 1947 zijn eigen fabriek in Martenshoek bij Hoogezand. Door de wederopbouw na de Tweede Wereldoorlog was er een grote behoefte aan bussen voor het openbaar vervoer, zodat beide fabrieken verzekerd waren van voldoende orders om zelfstandig te overleven.

Groenewold heeft geleverd aan veel busbedrijven, vooral in de noordelijke provincies, maar ook daarbuiten. Groenewolds vormgeving in de jaren vijftig was sterk geënt op die van de carrosseriefabriek Verheul, maar later vond men een meer eigen ‘gezicht’. De grootste afnemer was de ESA te Marum, die 58 bussen door Groenewold heeft laten bouwen. Veelal werden die in ruwbouw afgeleverd en zorgde de ESA zelf voor de afwerking. Andere bekende cliënten waren de fa. Bergman te Ter Apel en de Roland te Slochteren. In tegenstelling tot zijn ex-compagnon Smit en de derde Groninger busbouwer Medema heeft Groenewold aan geen van de andere openbaar-vervoerbedrijven in het noorden des lands geleverd, maar des te meer aan allerlei touringcarbedrijven. Daarnaast heeft Groenewold vele bibliobussen gebouwd.

In 1967 stopte Groenewold met de bouw van bussen, omdat de concurrentie van grotere binnen- en buitenlandse fabrikanten, die dankzij moderne productiemethoden voor een lagere prijs konden werken, te groot werd. In datzelfde jaar bouwde ook Smit Appingedam zijn laatste bussen. Medema was al eerder failliet gegaan, zodat hiermee een einde gekomen was aan de bussenbouw in de provincie Groningen.

Na de periode van de touringbussen is Groenewold zich gaan toeleggen op de fabricage van autotransporters. Deze autotransporters kunnen worden gebruikt voor het transport van 2 – ca. 12 personenauto’s. Sinds 2010 is Groenewold tevens producent van de EcoLog.

Elema-Stollenga’s Autodiensten

 

De ESA 133 (eigendom van het Nationaal Bus Museum) op 05-10-03 in Groningen

De firma Elema & Stollenga, bekend als Elema-Stollenga’s Auto(bus)diensten met de afkorting E.S.A., gevestigd te Marum, begon in 1927 met het rijden vanlijndiensten per autobus in het Westerkwartier (het zuidwesten van de provincie Groningen) en aangrenzende delen van Drenthe en Friesland. Na de overdracht hiervan aan de FRAM in 1979 is de ESA actief gebleven in de automobiel- en garagebranche

Geschiedenis

Het bedrijf werd opgericht door Klaas Michiel Elema (1898-1975) en Martinus Stollenga (1905-1949). Na enige jaren raakte de benaming ESA ingeburgerd als afkorting van Elema-Stollenga’s Autodiensten, dat voluit op de bussen vermeld stond. In de jaren dertig werden twee andere busbedrijven overgenomen. In 1939 kwam er een derde vennoot bij in de persoon van Diele van der Ploeg, oprichter van de GADO en eigenaar-directeur van de Roland.

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog heeft men in Marum, Haulerwijk en Oosterwolde drie nieuwe garages gebouwd. Door diverse overnames, het laatst van de Leekster Tak te Leek, kreeg het vervoergebied zijn vorm in de driehoek Groningen – Assen – Drachten. De rechtstreekse lijn Groningen – Drachten, opvolger van de NTM-tramlijn, verkreeg men pas in 1948 door een lijnenruil met de NTM, die daarvoor van de ESA de buslijn Groningen – Heerenveen kreeg.

Na het overlijden van Stollenga in 1949 trok ook Van der Ploeg zich uit de ESA terug en werd het bedrijf verder geleid door de familie Elema. In 1960 werd de vennootschap onder firma omgevormd tot eennaamloze vennootschap. De officiële bedrijfsnaam werd toen Elema-Stollenga’s Autobusdiensten (E.S.A.) N.V.

In de jaren zeventig was de rijksoverheid bereid openbaar vervoersubsidies te gaan verlenen, mits de bedrijven dit onderdeel afsplitsten van hun overige activiteiten. Daarom werd de ESA een holding met drie dochtermaatschappijen, te weten

• E.S.A. Trans Continental B.V., destijds een van de grootste reisbureaus en touringcarbedrijven in het noorden des lands met ook een vestiging in Amsterdam;
• E.S.A. Garagebedrijven B.V. met diverse vestigingen, o.a. in de stad Groningen;
• E.S.A. Lijndienst Exploitatie Maatschappij B.V. voor de streekvervoerdiensten.

De naam Trans Continental werd gebruikt nadat de ESA het Amsterdamse reisbureau van die naam had overgenomen. Sinds eind jaren zestig werd samengewerkt met enkele andere bedrijven onder de naam Intratours. Na een fusie in 1973 ging de ESA ook de naam De Jong-Intratours gebruiken.

In 1979 werden de ESA-lijndiensten overgenomen door de FRAM te Heerenveen. De naam ESA bleef verder bestaan als touroperator en garagebedrijf. In 1985 is de tourafdeling overgenomen door Sijpkes Reizen te Stadskanaal. Hierdoor bleef de garageafdeling over, nog steeds onder de naam ESA, met vestigingen in Groningen en Friesland en in het Poolse Poznań. Daravan zijn enkele in 1983 overgenomen van de toen failliete DAM, ook een voormalig busbedrijf.

Buses, Van’s, 4×4’s, UAZ “Bukhanka” + more

UAZ (УАЗ) is an initialism for Ulyanovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (Ульяновский Автомобильный Завод, which translates to “Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant”) is an automobile manufacturer based in Ulyanovsk, Russia which manufactures off-road vehicles, buses and trucks. It is best known for its Model 469 utility vehicle, which has seen wide use as a military vehicle in the Eastern bloc and around the world. The UAZ factory started production in 1941 as part of the Soviet war effort.

History

War and Post-War

The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant was founded in 1941 as a direct result of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The rapidly advancing Germans threatened to capture the bulk of Soviet industry, concentrated in the Western parts of the country, and thereby undercut the ability of the USSR to supply its troops. In response to this threat the government of Joseph Stalin ordered the evacuation of strategically crucial industrial centers to the East. By the October 1941, the rapid German drive to Moscow, triggered the decision to relocate the Moscow automotive manufacturer ZIS to the Volga town of Ulyanovsk. The town, already a nascent industrial center with a sufficiently developed infrastructure and a good supply of skilled workers, would be an ideal location for the reconstituted factory. It was also safely out of reach of the German army. At that time of its founding, the plant was considered a subsidiary of ZIS. By 1942, the plant began production of artillery shells and automobiles. The first automobile produced at the plant was the ZIS-5 three-ton truck.

In 1943, when the prospect of a German victory had become far less likely, it was decided that the relocated plant would remain in Ulyanovsk and be separated administratively from ZIS, which would be rebuilt in Moscow from scratch. This was in line with the Soviet post-war policy regarding various relocated industrial operations. It was considered more efficient to leave the newly built plants as is, while the original plants, provided they survived the war were outfitted anew, frequently with captured German machinery. At the end of 1944, the production of the ZIS-5 was transferred to The Ural Automotive Plant in Miass, while the Ulyanovsk plant began producing the smaller GAZ-AA.

In 1954 production was expanded to include the GAZ-69 jeep.

Two years later, the factory was not just assembling the jeeps from parts delivered elsewhere, but manufacturing the automobiles in their entirety.

The Golden Age

In 1958, UAZ began production of its first independently designed automobile, the UAZ-450 – a family of trucks and vans. In 1966, the UAZ-452D a further development of the 450, was put into production. The 452 would go on to become a workhorse of soviet agriculture and police.

In 1972 the well-regarded, but outdated, GAZ-69 was replaced by the more modern UAZ-469.

1972 – nu UAZ-469

2005 UAZ-469 medical modification, used in Ukraine

The UAZ-469 was a sturdy, but not-so-comfortable vehicle with the ability to overcome virtually any terrain, while also providing ease of maintenance. The 469 reached legendary status, thanks to its reliability and impressive off-road capability, even though it was not made available to the civilian market until late 1980s, before which time it was built exclusively for police and military use. A commercially-available variant was produced by the Lutzk Automotive Works.

The UAZ-469 and its modifications have gained a dedicated following because of its off-road ability, reliability and simplicity. Off-road enthusiasts welcome it as a lower-cost and better alternative to the American Jeep, British Land Rover and Japanese Land Cruiser.

Crisis

After the collapse of Soviet Union, UAZ has started feeling the heat. On one hand, people were willing to buy its cars due to its high reputation; on the other hand, most preferred used imported off-road cars due to the lack of reliability of UAZ cars made in the 1990s. UAZ produced a slightly modified version of its original UAZ-469 car, UAZ Hunter, but the sales were still lacking.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, UAZ experienced many financial problems which resulted in poor quality control and cost cutting which resulted in the production of low quality UAZ automobiles compared to those made in Soviet times.

In 2004, the plant was bought by the Severstal financial group, which made many investments in the firm and had also bought the ZMA car plant in Naberezhnye Chelny.

In 2005, a new SUV-like car, UAZ Patriot, was unveiled. Extensive use of third-party parts (which finally allowed UAZ to replace its notorious transmission with a better, Korean-manufactured one), large capacity, good off-road capabilities and affordable price (<15,000 USD) predict good sales in Russia. UAZ unveils a new 4 door pickup truck.

Reliability

The UAZ-469 (and its modifications) has earned a reputation as a very reliable and capable 4×4. It has gained huge popularity among off-road enthusiasts within Russia, former Soviet republics as well as Europe, Asia, South America and Africa, and is preferred by many over other legendary 4x4s such as Land Rover, Jeep and Toyota.

One of the main reasons the 469 has enjoyed such popularity is its deliberately simple design, which allows for easy maintenance and repairs. Its simplicity is a deliberate design feature for two main reasons: the requirements of the Soviet Armed Forces, as well as that most people in the Soviet Union/Russia prefer to fix their cars themselves as opposed to taking them to an authorized mechanic.

Although the UAZ has proven to be a reliable 4×4, there have been a few problems with the car’s reliability that have slightly hurt its reputation.

The transmission of the original 469 has been known to have problems when not maintained properly (as the owners manual dictates). Another major problem within Russia has been the production ofcounterfeit parts made out of cheap metals. Furthermore, the 1990s (after the fall of the Soviet Union) saw a significant decline of quality in the assembly of UAZ vehicles as the company struggled to survive and could not afford to pay the salaries of its employees.

Other problems have been encountered with the modernization of the vehicle, as many of the new electrical and cosmetic parts have been of poor quality. To combat these problems, and return the reliability and dependability of UAZ vehicles to their former standards the UAZ Company has recently introduced a new Quality Control system which has reduced the number of UAZ vehicles with defects arriving in showrooms around the world.
