A van for the Harrods department store is quickly followed by the first buses for local operators and double deckers for London (pictured). Fire engines are offered from 1908 onwards, establishing what is to become another mainstay of the company\u2019s activity for nearly a century, and by 1913 car production stops to focus on commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">From joinery to coaches<\/h3>\n                  <p>Frederick William Plaxton sets up a joinery workshop in Scarborough. Expansion follows and the company becomes a building contractor, constructing a number of notable buildings around the Yorkshire seaside town. Having diversified into manufacturing bodywork for cars just before the First World War, Plaxton builds its first charabanc in 1918 on a Ford Model T chassis. Within a decade the shift is made to fully enclosed coaches and these quickly become the company\u2019s main activity.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Alexander starts building buses<\/h3>\n                  <p>To satisfy demand for its rapidly growing bus services, Alexander begins to build its own buses at its workshops in Falkirk. Although some of these single deck buses and coaches are sold to other companies, the bulk of the production is for fleets in the Scottish Motor Traction group, which becomes Alexander\u2019s owner in 1929 and operates throughout Scotland.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Bus-specific chassis designs<\/h3>\n                  <p>While the chassis of earlier buses had been shared with lorries, the Dennis E and H types introduce a forward-control design and lower floor. As well as supplying chassis to independent builders, Dennis produces its own bodywork at this time, enabling it to offer complete vehicles to its wide range of domestic customers as well as to international buyers. The first buses had been exported as early as 1909 \u2013 to Russia and New Zealand \u2013 and by the 1920s Hong Kong operators are among the customers.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Lance and Lancet<\/h3>\n                  <p>At the start of the new decade, Dennis launches two new chassis. The Lance is an underframe for heavy double deckers, quickly finding favour with municipalities across the United Kingdom. The lighter Lancet (pictured in production) adds an economic single deck chassis designed to keep investment and operating costs down, presaging many of the engineering values of later decades.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Supporting the war effort<\/h3>\n                  <p>With the outbreak of the Second World War, the British bus and coach manufacturing industry is restructured to support the war effort. Dennis builds lorries and light armoured vehicles for the War Office, while Plaxton\u2019s production is utilised to make munitions boxes. Alexander, on the other hand, is tasked with meeting demand for higher capacity buses and from 1942 the company builds its first double deckers, using a wartime utility design. With the end of hostilities, all three companies quickly return to their established trades.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Loline targets open market<\/h3>\n                  <p>Throughout the decade, bus sales are in decline at Dennis as competition from larger builders squeezes the company out of the market. A modest revival comes with the Dennis Loline, a licence-built version of the Bristol Lodekka chassis for low-height double deckers which its state-owned designers could only sell to nationalised companies. Dennis faces no such restrictions, but declining demand for front-engined buses nevertheless takes its toll and in 1967 the decision is made to concentrate on fire engines and municipal vehicles.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Panorama sets new standards<\/h3>\n                  <p>With the new Panorama coach, Plaxton sets new standards for the industry. With alternate body pillars stopping at the waist-rail, its wide windows give passengers an unrivalled view. The modern design is further confirmed through a restyle in 1964 (pictured), and its success ensures that the company rides out consolidation in the industry, leaving it by the end of the 1960s as one of two major coach builders in the United Kingdom.

This opened the company up to new customers, and a boom in orders in the second half of the 1950s lays the foundation for the move to a new, state-of-the-art factory on Falkirk\u2019s Glasgow Road \u2013 which remains in use, expanded and adapted, over 65 years later.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Revolutionary Elite leads to steel-built Supreme<\/h3>\n                  <p>A revolution in coach design as the first British coach to feature curved side windows, the Plaxton Elite sets the style for the next two decades. When the new Supreme model replaces it in 1975, its construction still incorporates wood, but three years later it has become an all-steel structure. In addition to British-made chassis of the day, the Supreme is available on increasingly popular imports, establishing a combination that continues to this day with the choice of Volvo chassis.

Although modular specification options result in visually varied vehicles, the buses remain the same under the skin, making them easy to maintain and support. This continues Alexander\u2019s growth from a primarily Scottish manufacturer to a leading position across the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Hong Kong is export springboard<\/h3>\n                  <p>In response to demand from Hong Kong for its market-leading designs, Alexander exports buses for the first time in its history. Instead of sending built-up vehicles, it decides to produce kits of completely-knocked-down bodies for local assembly and sets up an office in the territory, establishing a local presence that continues to this day and which facilitates further vehicle sales across the Asia-Pacific region, with the first buses arriving in Singapore in 1979.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Dennis returns to bus market<\/h3>\n                  <p>Having been bought by the Hestair group in 1972, Dennis returns to the bus market with the rear-engined Dominator chassis that quickly establishes itself as a staple of British fleets. Hong Kong bus operators also turn to Dennis, initially for the rugged, front-engined Jubilant before a three-axle version of the Dominator emerges as the Dragon and Condor models, designed to cope with extreme peak loadings of up to 172 passengers.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Dart invents the modern midibus<\/h3>\n                  <p>While demand for van-derived minibuses had flourished with deregulation of bus services in 1986, many operators want something bigger, yet not too big. Dennis has the answer with the Dart, a purpose-designed midibus that offers outstanding fuel economy and is robust enough for the challenges of intensive bus operation. Its success exceeds all expectations, making it and its successors the best-selling British bus of all time. While available to all bodybuilders, it is to become most closely associated with Plaxton\u2019s Pointer body, launched in 1991 (pictured).<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Change at Plaxton<\/h3>\n                  <p>The late 1980s are a period of major organisational change for Plaxton. In 1986 it took over its largest dealer, Kirkby, based at Anston near Sheffield. Two years later, it concentrates its Scarborough production in an expanded plant at Eastfield (pictured), where Plaxton continues to operate to this day. It then goes on to buy car sales business Henlys the following year, adopting this name for the group but keeping the Plaxton brand for coaches.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Low-floor revolution<\/h3>\n                  <p>To make buses accessible to passengers with reduced mobility, Dennis launches low-floor designs of its single deck chassis in the mid-1990s. The new Dart SLF enjoys even bigger success than its step-entrance predecessor, especially with Plaxton bodies. Engineers at Dennis and Plaxton work closely together to create the Super Pointer Dart, an 11.3m long version that challenges heavier and less fuel-efficient vehicle types, and the Mini Pointer Dart, which adds a manoeuvrable 8.8m model to complete the range.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Easy-access double decker<\/h3>\n                  <p>Easy access is extended to double deck buses with the introduction of the Dennis Trident. Available to multiple body manufacturers, its most popular combinations are with the Alexander ALX400 (pictured) and the Plaxton President body, built in Wigan at the former Northern Counties factory that the company had acquired three years earlier.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Panther leaps to the fore<\/h3>\n                  <p>A new generation of Plaxton coaches launches as the Panther. Built to the new maximum width of 2.55m, it is Plaxton\u2019s first to be constructed out of stainless steel to better resist corrosion. In updated form, it continues to form the basis for the company\u2019s range today.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Double deckers in America<\/h3>\n                  <p>The first double deck buses exported to North America join the fleet of BC Transit in Victoria, British Columbia. With their high seating capacity, these Dennis Trident prove popular on transit and commuter services and win over further agencies in Canada and the United States.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Merger in TransBus<\/h3>\n                  <p>In 1998, Plaxton owner Henlys had attempted to buy the company\u2019s primary chassis supplier, Dennis, only to be outbid by Mayflower, who had acquired Alexander three years earlier. In 2000, the two groups combine their UK bus and coach manufacturing interests in TransBus International. Faced with overcapacity and duplicate products, the new company consolidates some of its operations, but manages to retain its major production centres, albeit at a reduced scale.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Unified design approach<\/h3>\n                  <p>TransBus takes a unified design approach to new products, developing chassis and body together. The Enviro300 single decker is the first of a new generation of buses that ensures maximum capacity through the best use of available space. It is followed a year later by the Enviro500 three-axle double decker, aimed primarily at export markets in North America and the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Alexander Dennis established<\/h3>\n                  <p>Spiralling debts at Mayflower cause the group\u2019s collapse and force TransBus into administration. A consortium of Scottish investors rescues the Guildford, Falkirk and Larbert operations under the new combined name Alexander Dennis. In place of the factory in Wigan, a new aftermarket headquarter and parts warehouse is established in neighbouring Skelmersdale (pictured). The Plaxton activities at Scarborough and Anston regain their independence in a management buy-out before being re-acquired by Alexander Dennis in 2007 to create the UK\u2019s leading bus and coach manufacturer.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/li>\n                          <li class=\"splide__slide\">\n                <div class=\"[ mt-8 ]\">\n                  <h3 class=\"[ text-lg md:text-xl ]\">Enviro family complete<\/h3>\n                  <p>Alexander Dennis introduces the Enviro400 double decker, followed the next year by the production version of the Enviro200 midibus, completing the transition to its new bus range.
