Saehan BU Series Bus
GM Korea introduced the BU series bus in 1976 using the MAN diesel powered U engine platform. Several platforms were built in this series. In 1977, Saehan Motors took over the GM Korea bus operation. The BU series continues to be made. BU100 GM Korea made the BU100 platform with 10 meter length version starting July 1976. It was equipped with rear mounted MAN D0846HM-U diesel engine. The marquee was renamed to Saehan (SMC) after it took over the bus division, but the series' name remained until January 1980. BU110 GM Korea reintroduced the express bus class of BU110 series a few years after they took over Shinjin Motors Shinjin Motors or Sinjin Motors ( ko, 신진자동차, ) is a defunct South Korean car manufacturer. A related bus manufacturer called "Shinjin Bus Manufacturing Company" was founded in 1955 as an independent company. It is now a part of Daewo ... with the 11 meter bus length class. Some of these buses were exported to Egypt. The same engine platf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
U Engine
A U engine is a piston engine made up of two separate straight engines (complete with separate crankshafts) placed side-by-side and coupled to a shared output shaft. When viewed from the front, the engine block resembles the letter "U". Although much less common than the similar V engine design, several U engines were produced from 1915-1987 for use in airplanes, racing cars, racing and road motorcycles, locomotives, and tanks. Design The main benefit of a U engine layout is the ability to share common parts with straight engine upon which is it based. Additionally, if the two crankshafts rotate in opposite directions, the gyroscopic effect of the rotating components in each cylinder bank cancel each other out. However, a V engine is typically more compact and lighter than a U engine (in part due to the lack of a second crankshaft), therefore V engines are far more common than U engines. The H engine layout uses a similar concept to U engines, whereby two flat engines are s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Saehan Motors
The Saehan Motor Company was a South Korean car, automobile manufacturer founded in 1976, which was born on the collaboration of Shinjin Industrial Company and General Motors to introduce their products on the South Korean market. Saehan was born on the former "General Motors Korea", which encountered difficulties when the South Korean market collapsed, following the first round of oil rises in 1973. This joint-venture, 50-50 between GM and Shinjin, consisted on a car assembly plant in Bupyong, a truck assembly plant in Pusan and a foundry at Incheon. In November 1976, Shinjin Motors faced financial problems and sold its 50% stake in Saehan to the Korea Development Bank (KDB). In 1978, the Daewoo Group acquired the equity stake and management rights from KDB. The company was renamed Daewoo Motors, Daewoo Motor Co. in January 1983. History The company origins can be traced back to Daewoo Motors, National Motors, a company established in 1937 in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, South Korea. ...

Rear-engine, Rear-wheel-drive Layout
In automotive design, an RR, or rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout places both the engine and drive wheels at the rear of the vehicle. In contrast to the RMR layout, the center of mass of the engine is between the rear axle and the rear bumper. Although very common in transit buses and coaches due to the elimination of the drive shaft with low-floor buses, this layout has become increasingly rare in passenger cars. Overview Most of the traits of the RR configuration are shared with the mid-engine rear-wheel-drive, or MR. Placing the engine near the driven rear wheels allows for a physically smaller, lighter, less complex, and more efficient drivetrain, since there is no need for a driveshaft, and the differential can be integrated with the transmission, commonly referred to as a transaxle. The front-engine front-wheel-drive layout also has this advantage. Since the engine is typically the heaviest component of the car, putting it near the rear axle usually results in more ...

Buses By Manufacturer
A bus (contracted from omnibus, with variants multibus, motorbus, autobus, etc.) is a road vehicle that carries significantly more passengers than an average car or van. It is most commonly used in public transport, but is also in use for charter purposes, or through private ownership. Although the average bus carries between 30 and 100 passengers, some buses have a capacity of up to 300 passengers. The most common type is the single-deck rigid bus, with double-decker and articulated buses carrying larger loads, and midibuses and minibuses carrying smaller loads. Coaches are used for longer-distance services. Many types of buses, such as city transit buses and inter-city coaches, charge a fare. Other types, such as elementary or secondary school buses or shuttle buses within a post-secondary education campus, are free. In many jurisdictions, bus drivers require a special large vehicle licence above and beyond a regular driving licence. Buses may be used for scheduled bus t ...
