As it was so popular the company was purchased by a large bus operator, Thomas Tilling, and renamed Tilling-Stevens. Tilling-Stevens consolidated its position with bus operators in the World War I because the petrol electric chassis were not considered suitable by the Army for use in France. However many men were trained to drive in the War on vehicles with conventional gearboxes which led to a decline in popularity of Tilling-Stevens’ system.
