In 1977–1979, AM General worked under a partnership with [[MAN Truck & Bus|MAN]] of Germany to build [[MAN SG 220|SG 220]] [[articulated bus]]es for US transit systems. MAN fabricated the bodyshells in Germany and shipped them to the US for AM General for final assembly.<ref name="mca-feb85">{{cite journal|title=AM General Corporation (history of) |journal=Motor Coach Age |date=February 1985 |pages=3–18 |issn=0739-117X }}</ref> Two different lengths were offered, {{convert|55|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} and {{convert|60|ft|m|1|abbr=on}}. 93 buses were built to the shorter length and the rest were 60&nbsp;feet long.
