Pegaso-SAVA 5720

The Pegaso-SAVA 5720 was an urban microbus launched by the Spanish manufacturer ENASA from 1973, intended for routes with low passenger demand or difficult streets such as narrow ones. After ENASA fully absorbed the Valladolid firm SAVA in 1968, that factory concentrated on light and medium vehicles, and its microbuses were sold as Pegaso-SAVA in the 5700 range, of which the 5720 was one of the most successful. It was sold as a chassis for body builders and bought by many small operators as well as large city companies. In 1975 the Madrid municipal bus company EMT ordered 180, later adding four more to replace three destroyed by fire; Unicar bodied them with its Arosa design and they had air conditioning and seats only. The arrival of the Pegaso 5317 midibuses in 1987 ended its career in Madrid, and some survive as preserved vehicles.
