Pegaso 6050

The Pegaso 6050 was an urban bus built by the Spanish manufacturer ENASA between 1972 and 1980, with a rear engine and a low floor. It was designed to replace the Pegaso 6035 but never did: ENASA built more 6035s than 6050s while both were in production. Jorsa of Mataro designed its self-supporting structure from the Viberti licence, and it was conceived for one-person operation, so no rear door was needed and the engine could sit at the back, giving a floor only 650 mm above the road. It was the first ENASA city bus with more than 200 cv, using the Pegaso 9152/2 diesel of 210 cv. The prototype appeared at the 1972 Barcelona motor show with its short sister the 6025, and series deliveries began in 1974 with 200 buses for Madrid. In all 1,004 were built, most for Madrid, Tenerife and Valencia, and a 6055 variant followed. Overheating hurt its reputation, and one survivor is preserved.
