The Metro-Scania was a step entrance single-deck bus built by Metro Cammell Weymann and Scania between 1970 and 1973. The two firms formed a joint venture in 1969 to compete with the Leyland National, using the Scania BR110 and BR111 chassis with MCW bodywork, and the first was shown at the Commercial Motor Show at Earls Court in September 1970. It was noted for the performance of its turbocharged Scania engine and a smooth, quiet ride on air suspension, but high fuel consumption hurt operators after the 1973 oil crisis and chassis corrosion led most to withdraw them early. A total of 133 were built, 44 for Newport Transport and 35 for Leicester Citybus, and the double-deck Metropolitan was its sister.
