Alexander
Dennis was formed as TransBus International on 1 January 2001, when Mayflower Corporation (owner of Dennis and Alexander) merged with Henlys Group(owner of Plaxton). TransBus International inherited a number of factories
around the United Kingdom from all three merged companies: the former Alexander
factories in Falkirk, Scotland andBelfast, Northern Ireland, the
former Plaxton factories in Anston and Scarborough, the former Northern Counties factory in Wigan, and the Dennis factory in Guildford. TransBus International
produced a range of both bus and coach chassis and bodies as well as fire engines. Included among its range of chassis were the Dennis Dart, one of the all-time best-selling buses in the UK , and the Dennis Trident. TransBus also produced export variants for service in Hong Kong, New York City and other locations. The Dennis Trident is the most common bus model in service in London. Since the creation of TransBus merged both Plaxton and Alexander, the
TransBus range included Plaxton coaches as well as two double-decker bodies
(the Plaxton President and the Alexander ALX400), the Alexander ALX300 citybus and thePointer body built in quantity on the aforementioned Dennis Dart chassis, which
replaced the Alexander ALX200 body built previously on a Dart chassis. On 31 March 2004 , TransBus International was put into administration. On 17
May 2004 , the Plaxton coach business was sold in a management buyout and resumed trading as Plaxton. TransBus
had been in the process of eradicating the traditional company names from the
vehicles. On 21 May 2004 , the remaining part of
TransBus (Alexander and Dennis) was bought by a consortium of merchant bank
Noble Grossart and businessmen David Murray and Brian Souter. The new company was named Alexander
Dennis. The sale did not include the former Alexander Belfast plant, which
closed.
