For 3-axle, longitudinal-engine Dennis Trident built for export, see Dennis Trident 3 / Dennis Trident E500 . Dennis Trident 2 (marketed as 2-axle '''Dennis Trident''', but once known as '''Transbus Trident''') is a 2-axle Low-floor Double Decker Bus chassis built by Dennis in the United Kingdom , which was unveiled in 1997 and replaced the Dennis Arrow . It was built by Transbus after Dennis was incorporated into the group in 2001 (the Dennis brand name was once dropped). From 2004, it was built by Alexander Dennis . The Trident 2 chassis features a transversely mounted engine, with the radiator mounted on the left side of the engine compartment. It could be fitted with Cummins C-series Euro II engine (later Cummins ISCe Euro III engine), coupled to Voith or ZF gearbox. Trident 2 was initially available with Alexander ALX400 , Plaxton President and East Lancs Lolyne bodywork. In the first few years of production, Trident 2 was popular in the United Kingdom, with a large number sold to large bus operators such as Stagecoach , First Group , Travel West Midlands and Lothian Buses . Some of the Tridents were exported to Ireland and Spain . But later, due to the launch of Scania OmniDekka and Transbus being put into administration, the sales of Trident 2 dropped significantly, leaving Stagecoach as its major buyer. In 2005, Alexander Dennis unveiled a modified chassis, which was developed from the Trident 2 chassis, for its Enviro 400 . This chassis received a number of modifications such as longer front overhang and a different shape of fuel tank. SEE ALSO Competitors: Other Alexander Dennis products: EXTERNAL LINKS |
