The Lancia Omicron was a bus chassis built by Lancia from 1927 to 1936, with 601 built in total. It was fitted with many body types, including short and long urban versions and a double-decker, and was luxurious for the early 1930s, used for long journeys in the deserts of north African countries such as Sudan and Algeria. It came in three versions, the two-axle C with an 8,300 mm wheelbase and L with 9,530 mm or 9,850 mm, and a three-axle option. Most models used the six-cylinder Lancia 77 engine with 92 hp or 96 hp, and the first Lancia diesel engine was made in 1934. Urban routes such as Rome to Tivoli used two-door bodies by Macchi and Carminati, and UK advertising promoted a test in which it hauled five laden trailers, over 50 tons in all.
