Dennis Lance

The Dennis Lance was a single-decker bus chassis built by Dennis between 1991 and 2000 as the successor to the Falcon and a larger sibling of the Dart. Unveiled at the 1991 Coach and Bus Show, it was the first Dennis product designed with computer-aided design at the new Guildford factory and used a longitudinal Cummins C6T engine with an in-line driveline, claimed to save 15 percent on fuel against an angle drive. A low-floor variant, the Lance SLF, was built from 1993 to 1996, and a double-deck version, the Arrow, from 1995 to 1998 as the Dominator's replacement. Bodies came from Alexander, East Lancs, Northern Counties, Optare and Plaxton, and the Plaxton Verde was the most common, with big orders from Midland Red West and Yorkshire Rider.
