English   The long road to the rear-mounted engine
17.11.2011 von admin


Despite its high price, the O 6600 H met with a relatively good reception. But it remained an outsider of its class, as did the O 6600 T that soon was added, a trolleybus whose electric motor drew its juice from an overhead wire. During the 1950s it was very much the fashion in German and foreign cities to replace streetcars with trolleybuses. The O 6600 T (together with its successor, the O 320 T) managed a total production run of 364 units (including two chassis for out-of-house bodies). For comparison: the overall production figure for all other variants of the 6600 bus family together was 2560 units.
