The double-deck principle was applied to the coach design, creating a high-capacity comfortable touring vehicle. It also featured a low-frame front axle with forward-mounted steering gear that permitted a low, flat floor. The "Do-Bus" design had low weight, and could carry over 100 passengers. In 1964, the founder's second son, Konrad Auwärter, developed a double-deck bus design for a service bus as part of his dissertation. Albrecht took over management of the company in 1965, and Bob Lee later became head of Engineering and Design. īoth Albrecht and Lee joined Neoplan after graduating from the university. The design was the first bus to allow passengers to regulate their fresh air supply through a nozzle from two air ducts, commonly seen in contemporary designs, as well as offering air suspension. Developed by the founder's eldest son, Albrecht Auwärter, and another student, Swiss national Bob Lee, as part of their dissertation at Hamburg University. In 1961, a new bus design, the Typ Hamburg, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. In 1957, air suspension was made available. By 1953, the company had moved away from manufacturing buses on truck chassis, to a partial monocoque design with a steel tube skeleton, providing the structural support, enhanced by welded side panels. The company was founded by Gottlob Auwärter in Stuttgart in 1935, and manufactured bodywork for bus and truck chassis.
