A Duple Dominant Bus body on Leyland Tiger chassis

The Duple Dominant was a design of coach bodywork built by Duple between 1972 and 1982. It had an all-steel structure.

Chassis

Duple Dominant bodywork was built on different chassis types including:

• Albion Viking EVK55CL
• AEC Reliance
• Bedford YRQ, YRT, YMT
• Bristol LH
• DAF MB
• Ford R1014, R1114
• Leyland Leopard
• Leyland Tiger
• Volvo B58
• Volvo B10M

• In 1973 Hutchins Coaches of Pontardawe, Swansea had a new Dominant on a Ford R226 chassis, reg no HWN 509L

Variants

The original design had a windscreen (and matching rear windows) of the same height as the side windows. It remained in production (with a new design of grille) alongside the Dominant II, whereafter it was known as the Dominant I.

The Dominant II (introduced in 1976) had a deeper windscreen, rectangular headlights and a flat rear window.

The Dominant III had shallow, parallelogram-shaped side windows. The Dominant IV had conventional-shaped side windows, but shallower than those on the Dominant II.

The Duple Goldliner was a high-floor version of the Dominant III or IV.

The Duple Dominant E was a bus-specification version of the Dominant I or II. It is not to be confused with the visually dissimilar Dominant Bus which was available from 1974 to 1987.
