【转】上世纪美国老车 Fageol Twin Coach 41S - post war model
【介紹】: 引用框:
Post war automatic american bus.
Twin Coach buses were produced from 1927 to 1955 by Fageol in Kent, Ohio, and from 1955 to 1958 by Flxible under the Flxible FT series designation.
These buses evolved through several generations, each with its own distinct design and mechanical features.
Gasoline and Propane Fageol or Hercules Diesel engines were available, always mounted underfloor. Some models featured two synchronized engines, which inspired the name "Twin Coach".
Spicer Manual or Automatic gearboxes were also available.
Twin Coach also offered articulated versions known as the "Super Twin", as well as trolleybus models for electric transit systems.
Compared to their main competitor—the GMC TDH “Old Look” buses—Twin Coaches stood out for their underfloor engine layout, which improved passenger comfort by minimizing noise and heat.
They also featured a torsilastic rubber suspension system developed by B.F. Goodrich. While this suspension provided a smooth ride, it was very difficult and expensive to repair, becoming one of the bus’s major drawbacks.
Twin Coach buses were sold to numerous cities across the United States and Canada, and also reached international markets.
Notable operators included:
BC Electric Railway (later BC Hydro)(British Columbia, Canada)
Seattle Transit System (Washington, USA)
Chicago Transit Authority (Illinois, USA)
San Francisco Municipal Railway (California, USA)
VBL (Verkehrsbetriebe Luzern) (Lucerne, Switzerland)
CMTC (Companhia Municipal de Transportes Coletivos) (São Paulo, Brazil)
Viação Cometa (São Paulo, Brazil)
Viação Relâmpago (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
This is the post war version, 41S, gasoline powered and automatic transmission.
Two versions are available: front boarding and CMTC Standard with rear boarding.
战后美国自动档巴士。
Twin Coach buses
于1927年至1955年由俄亥俄州肯特市的Fageol公司生产,1955年至1958年由Flxible公司生产,命名为Flxible-FT系列。
这些公共汽车经过几代人的发展,每一代都有自己独特的设计和机械特征。
汽油和丙烷Fageol或Hercules柴油发动机可供选择,始终安装在地板下。一些车型配备了两个同步发动机,这启发了“Twin Coach”这个名字。
Spicer手动或自动变速箱也可供选择。
Twin Coach还提供被称为“Super Twin”的铰接式版本,以及用于电动交通系统的无轨电车模型。
与他们的主要竞争对手——GMC TDH“Old Look”公交车相比,双教练车因其地板下发动机布局而脱颖而出,该布局通过最大限度地减少噪音和热量来提高乘客的舒适度。
他们还采用了B.F.Goodrich开发的硅橡胶悬架系统。虽然这种悬架提供了平稳的行驶,但维修起来非常困难且昂贵,这成为了公共汽车的主要缺点之一。
双教练巴士销往美国和加拿大的许多城市,也进入了国际市场。
著名的运营商包括:
不列颠哥伦比亚省电气铁路公司(后更名为不列颠哥伦比亚水电公司)(加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省)
西雅图交通系统(美国华盛顿)
芝加哥交通管理局(美国伊利诺伊州)
旧金山市铁路(美国加利福尼亚州)
VBL(卢塞恩Verkehrsbetriebe)(瑞士卢塞恩)
CMTC(Companhia Municipal de Transportes Coletivos)(巴西圣保罗)
Viação Cometa(巴西圣保罗)
Viação Relâmpago(巴西里约热内卢)
这是战后版本,41S,汽油动力和自动变速器。
有两个版本可供选择:前板和带后板的CMTC标准。
