| dbo:abstract | Twin Coach war ein amerikanischer Fahrzeughersteller aus Kent, Ohio, der von 1927 bis 1962 existierte. Das Hauptprodukt des Unternehmens waren Omnibusse und Oberleitungsbusse, daneben stellte es auch Lastwagen, Motoren und Flugzeugteile her. Gegründet wurde das Unternehmen 1927 von den beiden Brüdern Frank und William Fageol, die zuvor bereits mehrere Unternehmen im Bereich Fahrzeugbau gegründet hatten. Frank war – wie bereits in den Vorgängerfirmen – auch maßgeblich an der Entwicklung neuer Busse beteiligt, weshalb die Firma auch teilweise als Fageol Twin Coach bezeichnet wurde. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Zusatz Fageol auch offiziell von der Firma genutzt. Ursprüngliches Ziel der Firma Twin Coach war es, Busse mit einer neuartigen Frontlenker-Konstruktion und zwei Motoren herzustellen und zu verkaufen. Die Verwendung von zwei Motoren war namensgebend für den neuen Bustyp, nach dem die Firma benannt wurde. (de) Twin Coach was an American vehicle manufacturing company from 1927 to 1955, located in Kent, Ohio, and a maker of marine engines and airplane parts until the 1960s. It was formed by brothers Frank and William Fageol when they left the Fageol Motor Company in 1927. They established the company in Kent to manufacture and sell buses with a new concept design. The body structure of this new bus was unique in that the body also became the frame and two engines – "twin" engines – were used to allow for larger passenger loads. This concept was patented by William B. Fageol. Over the years, Twin Coach made transit buses, trolley buses, small delivery vehicles, Fageol six-cylinder gasoline/propane bus and marine engines, Fageol four-cylinder marine engines, and aircraft and truck components. The company was sometimes referred to as "Fageol-Twin Coach". The company was acquired by Flxible in 1955 and merged with it, but use of the "Twin Coach" name in marketing continued for a few years, and the name was briefly revived (as a brand name only) in the late 1960s by a related company called Highway Products, Inc.

Fageol.Os irmãos Fageol iniciaram seus negócios em Oakland, California, em 1916, fabricando caminhões para a I Guerra. Em 1924 estabeleceram-se em Kent com a empresa Fageol Motor Company. Após venderem a empresa para a American Car and Foundry Company de Dayton, Ohio, em 1925, os dois irmãos retomariam suas atividades dois anos depois voltando a Kent para fundar a Twin Coach Company. A Twin Coach foi por cerca de vinte anos o fabricante vice-líder nos EUA no segmento de ônibus. Seu modelo "Twin Coach" lançou novos conceitos na fabricação de ônibus com seu sistema de motorização dupla e construção monobloco. A empresa chegou a expandir suas atividades para a produção de peças de aviação, motores náuticos e para máquinas. No Brasil os ônibus Twin Coach foram usados a partir de 1948 pela CMTC. Em 1951, foram empregados na versão rodoviário pela Viação Cometa, na linha São Paulo-Rio. Também chegaram a ser usados na versão trólebus, quando a cidade de Belo Horizonte inaugurou este serviço em 1953, empregando quatro veículos da marca.. (pt) |
