Twin Coach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Twin Coach was also a name used by Highway Products, Inc. of Kent, Ohio.
Twin Coach was a new company formed by the Fageol brothers when they left the Fageol Motor Company in 1927. They established the company in Kent, Ohio, to manufacture and sell buses with a new concept design. The body structure of this new bus was unique in that the body also became the frame and two engines were used to allow for larger passenger loads. This concept was patented by William B. Fageol.
Over the years, Twin Coach made transit buses, Fageol 6 cylinder gasoline/propane bus engines, Fageol 44 Marine engines; aircraft, truck components. The bus operations were sold to Flxible in the mid-1950s.
