All I can say now: Details doesn't look like in the Rocars De Simon which I've seen, e.g. fenders, these are in Berliet/Renault style - it doesn't means that it is a Berliet ![]() -- Last edit: 2006-12-05 18:10:07 |

Rocar it's the most popular romanian bus make |
◊ 2006-12-01 13:05 |
So this one is a Rocar or a Berliet? |

Rocar - romanian bus producer, in the 90's they've started cooperating with italian body maker De Simon - their busses were (are) very similar to Berliets/Renaults, but not identical. I agree that this one looks like a Berliet PR100, number of windows, fenders etc. but I'm not sure if it is french bus. -- Last edit: 2006-12-01 15:15:12 |

thank's for this info Weasel ![]() What do you mean, that it could a Berliet built out of France? |

I don't know nothing about production of Berliets in ex. "eastern block" (except those from Jelcz), but who knows, for sure it is not Jelcz. ![]() "French bus" = Berliet, I didn't want to use the same word twice. ![]() Anyway, it can be an original Berliet, romanian car industry cooperated with France, so maybe they also bought some french buses. Same was here, we produced only PR100, but had quite a lot of Berliets Cruisair. Here is a pic of Rocar De Simon... : Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" As you can see is very similar to Berliet and to bus from this page, but not identical, maybe it is a version which I don't know. (I've never seen any Rocar in real life ![]() -- Last edit: 2006-12-01 16:13:48 |

I knew something like that, but don't know what has become the algerian factory during the last 20 years , with Renault , and now Volvo |

Interesting ![]() Are you sure there is no technical links between these buses and Berliet? architecture of the vehicle seems so close to the berliet... |

No I'm not. ![]() -- Last edit: 2006-12-01 23:59:02 |

Sure the design of this Ikarus seems to be inspired by the Berliet PR100...but on the Rocar, judging the general shape of the vehicle and the wheels, I think the basis is the Berliet PR100/Renault PR100 basis... but it must confirmed ![]() |

Hello everyone! OK, it's a PR100, but the bumper and the blinker make me think it's a PR100 R : http://www.transbus.org/construc/renault_pr100_r.jpg So we could call it a Renault too... But of course I prefer the "real" original brand Berliet! -- Last edit: 2006-12-29 18:45:35 |

Yes it indeed can be the short lived 1984 "R" (interim version to the '85 100.2), as the type of doors is not visible at this pic. |
