The DAF SB220 was a full-size single-decker bus chassis produced by DAF Bus International from 1985.[1] Initially only built in left hand drive, in 1988 a right hand drive version was launched for the United Kingdom market.[2] An articulated version was also manufactured.[3]
It was superseded by the DAF/VDL SB200 and SB250.
