-In the 1930s, the German Imperial City began to get crowded with autobahn networks, and public transport issues were very important.
-Besides rail, buses were an effective alternative for people without cars. The bus industry worked on developing fast and comfortable vehicles.

-A notable example is the Skoda bus that was attached to six wheels in 1938.
-The back twin axle has 108 hp of a 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 8 liters, and was able to reach a maximum speed of over 100 km / h with excellent aerodynamics.
-This is possible because the rear end of the bus has a balanced taper.
-As revolutionary as the impressive design is the chassis suspension. All three axles were equipped with independent suspensions, ensuring a very high level of driving comfort at that time.
-The centrally located driver's seat has become an extraordinary concept bus, perhaps to allow for a large front end curve.
-Unfortunately, the bus prototype was destroyed by the attack of the WWII allies.
