The GM TDH-4801 and TDM-4801 were a special series of GM "old-look" transit buses that were produced between 1953 and 1958 and which were designed to maintain a maximum rear axle weight load of no more than Шаблон:Convert. The reason for this was due to a requirement in California at the time that buses more than Шаблон:Convert in length or Шаблон:Convert in width could only be operated under special authorization from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and the CPUC had denied authorization for the TDH-5105 (a Шаблон:Convert, Шаблон:Convert bus) partially due to its weight. Both the TDH-4801 and TDM-4801 have an unusual vehicle length of Шаблон:Convert (rather than the normal 35 or 40 feet) and a seating capacity of only 48 (rather than 51 for a comparable 40-foot bus). Both models are 102 inches wide. The TDH-4801 was equipped with an automatic transmission and 547 were built between 1953 and 1958. The TDM-4801 was equipped with a manual transmission and 75 were built in 1954.
