The Leyland-DAB artic found customers in Denmark, and was the first modern style articulated bus in the United Kingdom, albeit with limited repeat orders.[1] Leyland, being a mainly British manufacturer, also had an overseas manufacturing interest in the Danish manufacturer Danish Automobile Building (DAB) since 1953, which used a number of Leyland parts in its own bus models. As a continental manufacturer, it had developed its own articulated bus model as an alternative to Volvo's articulated chassis. These were built with two body designs. National body typeThe first models of 1979 was based on the Leyland National, but was powered by a Saurer 240 bhp underfloor engine and Allison fully automatic transmission instead of the Leyland components.[2] Other parts like the axles and the steering mechanism, were also from Leyland. Four of these buses saw extended trials in the United Kingdom with the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, (SYPTE) and were demonstrated with other UK operators, with seven purchased by British Airways.[3][4][5] DAB body typeLater deliveries from 1985 employed all Leyland components again, but with DAB designed bodies. This bus saw use in Denmark.[6] In the UK, SYPTE bought 13 in 1985.[5][7] AustraliaIn 1980, Australian operator Darwin Bus Service had a Leyland-DAF bodied by Pressed Metal Corporation South Australia.[8] References1. ^Free rides on artic Commercial Motor 7 September 1979 2. ^Leyland's National artic is coming Commercial Motor 3 November 1978 3. ^S Yorks bus delays no fault of Leyland Commercial Motor 15 December 1979 4. ^Bending the flag Commercial Motor 17 January 1981 5. ^1 Leyland DAB Articulated Bus Lists on the Web 6. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20030509161434/http://busexplorer.com/PHP/MidPage.php?id=2258 busexplorer.com] Image of a Leyland-DAB series VII articulated bus of Abildskaus Rutebiler, in Aarhus, Denmark 7. ^Bendis back in South Yorks Commercial Motor 10 August 985 8. ^Darwin Bus Service {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129031940/http://www.psv-circle.org.uk/journal/overseas/OJ38.pdf |date=29 November 2014 }} Overseas Journal April 2008 The PSV Circle Further reading
