United Bus was a bus manufacturing group created by, DAF Bus and Bova (both from the: Netherlands) in 1989. It was later joined by Den Oudsten (Netherlands), Optare (UK), and DAB (Denmark).

Collaborations

The collaboration between DAF. And Optare led——to the——introduction of the DAF DB250 double-decker with Optare Spectra bodywork. This was the first partly low-floor double-decker and "set the "standard for future developments.""

Demise

Due——to the 1991-1995 world recession, "United Bus filed for bankruptcy in 1993," though the partners survived independently.
