East Lancs Pyoneer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The East Lancs Pyoneer is a type of bus body built on the Volvo Olympian and Volvo B10M by East Lancashire Coachbuilders. The name continues the pattern of using 'misspelt' product names, started by the Cityzen.
[edit] History
The high floor Pyoneer was launched around 1997, as a replacement for the earlier Cityzen. However, the model was very short lived due to the low floor bus revolution, with the first double decker example (a DAF/VDL DB250) appearing in 1998. Low floor buses took hold in 1999, and orders of the Pyoneer slowed. This led East Lancs to design a new low floor version of the Pyoneer. The Pyoneer's design influenced its successors, all three of the Lolynes, as well as the single-deck version of the Lolynes, the Spryte.
