===1960s===
In 1961, a new bus design, the ''Typ Hamburg'', was unveiled at the [[Geneva Motor Show]]. Developed by the founder's eldest son, Albrecht Auwärter, and another student, Swiss national Bob Lee, as part of their dissertation at [[Hamburg University]]. The design was the first bus to allow passengers to regulate their fresh air supply through a nozzle from two air ducts, commonly seen in contemporary designs, as well as offering air suspension.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|last1=Pilz|first1=Hans-Joachim|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dXN7zQEACAAJ|title=Auwärter NEOPLAN Omnibusse|last2=Schneider|first2=Andreas|date=2020-06-10|publisher=Podszun GmbH|isbn=978-3-86133-962-5|language=de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last1=Kraus|first1=Wolfgang|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8sSZCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA69|title=Nutzfahrzeuge Gestern - Heute - Morgen: Automobil Kolloquium 2013 Dokumentation|last2=Eckermann|first2=Erik|date=2015|publisher=BoD – Books on Demand|isbn=978-3-7347-8786-7|language=de}}</ref>

Both Albrecht and Lee joined Neoplan after graduating from university. Albrecht took over management of the company in 1965, and Bob Lee later became head of Engineering and Design.

In 1964, the founder's second son, Konrad Auwärter, developed a [[double-decker bus|double-deck bus design]] for a service bus as part of his dissertation.<ref name=":1" /> The "Do-Bus" design had low weight, and could carry over 100 passengers. It also featured a low-frame front [[axle]] with forward-mounted [[steering]] gear that permitted a low, flat floor. The double-deck principle was applied to the coach design, creating a high-capacity, comfortable touring vehicle. This vehicle was known as the [[Neoplan Skyliner|Skyliner]].
