The VDL SB200 (originally the DAF SB200) is a 12 m (39 ft 4 in) light-weight, low floor single decker bus chassis that was produced from 2001 to 2014 by VDL Bus & Coach (formerly DAF Bus International).
It is originally designed for use by Arriva (VDL dealer in the United Kingdom) in order to save fuel over heavy-weight citybuses which are designed for Continental Europe where buses carry large numbers of standing passengers, whereas in the UK they do not.
Of the 831 built for United Kingdom operators, Arriva purchased 704, Tellings-Golden Miller 30 and John Fishwick & Sons 23.
[5] One VDL SB200 was fitted with an MCV Evolution body in 2012 as a static demonstrator for Arriva Bus & Coach, it was sold in 2014 to Richards Brothers in Wales.
