Description: | From 1904 petrol engine powered buses began to appear in London. The De Dion Bouton petrol engine greatly contributed to the success of the early motor bus designs. This example, and earlier types of engine were used in the De Dion motor buses operated by the London General Omnibus Company. De Dion Bouton was a Parisian motor firm that produced a reliable high-speed, water-cooled engine. It began by successfully mass-producing motor tricycles, which it sold to other vehicle-makers throughout the world. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1908-1912 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
