The Albion Valiant CX was a bus chassis built by Albion Motors of Scotstoun, Glasgow, from 1948 to 1951, mostly sold to coach operators. It was the CX generation of the Valiant, a name first used for a chassis of 1931 to 1936 that was also sold mainly to the coach market. The CX version of the Albion bus chassis, launched in 1937, mounted the engine and gearbox together as one unit rather than joining them with a separate drive shaft, and Albion's own range of diesel engines was made available. The Valiant CX appeared in 1948 after the war and was built for only about three years before the 1951 takeover of Albion by Leyland Motors, after which the bus range was cut back.
