Dennis Javelin

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The Dennis Javelin, later sold as the Alexander Dennis Javelin, was an underfloor-engined bus and coach chassis built by Dennis and later by Alexander Dennis. It was unveiled in 1986 as a modern replacement for the discontinued Bedford Y series, and it also supplanted the heavier Dennis Dorchester. It was a success, with more than 2,000 produced and 500 of them bought by the Ministry of Defence, though it never matched its nearest rival, the heavier Volvo B10M. It was exported as well: four MotorCoach Australia bodied Javelins went to Fearne's Coaches of Wagga Wagga in 1996, and nine Designline and Kiwi Bus Builders bodied examples to Ritchies Coachlines in New Zealand between 1999 and 2005.
