| 摘要： | The launch of Scania's Fencer comes 50 years after operators took delivery of the Swedish manufacturer's first integral buses for the UK market. Between 1971 and 1978, and again between 2002 and 2012, it supplied British and Irish customers with around 2,200 integral single- and double-deckers completed in Birmingham, Sweden or Poland. Mercedes-Benz had begun selling its O302 coach in the UK in 1967, but Scania - which had already exported around 1,000 freight trucks to Britain - was the first foreign manufacturer to compete in the bus market. That was a potentially hard nut for any continental European company to crack, as most stage carriage operators were owned either by local or national government, and there was strong political pressure to buy British and help maintain thousands of jobs in bus chassis and engine plants in northwest England, the Midlands, London, Bristol and Glasgow. |
