Pegaso 6035

The Pegaso 6035 was an urban and suburban bus, built in standard and articulated versions by the Spanish manufacturer ENASA between 1964 and 1981. It used a self-supporting tubular steel structure of the kind designed by the Italian firm Viberti under the Monotral name, which ENASA built in Spain under licence through its subsidiary Jorsa of Mataro. Its main novelty over the earlier 6021 was a horizontal diesel engine mounted under the floor, the Pegaso 9101 of 10,170 cc and 170 cv, which freed space for more passengers; it also had a semi-automatic transmission with a hydraulic clutch. Series production began in 1965, with four-speed and five-speed versions, and a 16.5 metre articulated 6035-A followed. A variant called the 6036 went mainly to Algiers. ENASA built 3,781 buses of the 6035 family, many of them bodied by outside firms, and exported to Havana and other cities. The 6038 replaced it, and about fifteen survive as preserved vehicles.
