Main requirements of vehicle to be used for long distance travel over both flat and mountainous country; diesel engined buses and coaches with power outputs of at least 150 bhp, fitted with 5-speed gear boxes, and having ratios sufficiently low to enable vehicle to take gradients of one in five or one in four, are necessary for many of services being operated on European Continent; engine exhaust brake system essential.
