AEC Reliance Bus 1953
What is your favourite bus of all time?
The very successful AEC Reliance underfloor engine single deck chassis was really the result of tests by AEC to find a lighter chassis than the one employed for the Regal 4. Introduced from 1953, power came from either AEC's 6.75-litre or 7.7-litre oil engine, driving through a five-speed synchromesh gearbox. From 1961 onwards a larger AH 590 engine was employed and towards the end of the 1960s six-speed synchromesh and six-speed direct air operated epicyclic gearboxes were made available.
