This saw domestic usage, and was the first articulated bus in the United Kingdom, albeit with limited repeat orders.
In the 1990s with the move to low-floor buses, DAB developed a new concept, the Travelator, later sold as the Servicebus.
This was a full low floor short bus with the doors being placed behind the front wheels,[1] in a similar concept to the later Optare Solo.
In 1999 production of in house DAB's by now more conventional low floor full length buses was discontinued, in favour of becoming one of two sites building Scania's own models, the OmniLink and OmniCity, the other site being Katrineholm in Sweden.
Due to low order levels, Scania sold the factory to Vest Busscar of Norway in 2002, ending the DAB name.
