Vétra-Berliet ELR

The Vétra-Berliet ELR, also called the electrified bus, was a two axle trolleybus built by Berliet to the specification of Vétra on the body of the Berliet PLR bus. It was nearly identical to the three axle VA3 B2 built on the PBR but shorter, with only two axles and twin rear wheels, and Vétra named it VBBh. It came in two series, the ELR 10 and then the ELR 100. At 10.7 m against 12.0 m it was 1.30 m shorter and so handier than the VA3 B2. Marseille bought 82, Nice 29 and Saint-Étienne 80, Toulon and Lyon one each, and three ran in Limoges as the Vétra VBBh 100. Like the EBR, it carried the Berliet name built into the Vétra logo.
