What Happened
Busscar has produced a Vissta Buss 365 NB1 coach for GL Turismo of Uruguay, a configuration that combines onboard wellbeing with features designed for tourism travel. The manufacturer highlights comfort on long routes, onboard technology and solutions that make operation easier. The Vissta Buss 365 NB1 won the iF Design Award 2024 and brings together functionality and innovation. Upholstery and finishes were selected according to GL Turismo's choices, personalising the interior to the profile of its operation.

For operations, the coach has a pneumatic luggage-hold locking system with a dashboard alert and exterior lighting at the access point, which Busscar says add practicality and safety. The door system prevents the coach from moving while the doors are open and prevents them from opening while the vehicle is in motion. Cameras, sensors and LED front lighting also assist the driver when driving and manoeuvring. The cabin offers the driver ergonomics and comfort, and for journeys with driver rotation, the second driver's area has climate control, ventilation and intercom communication.
“This configuration shows the care taken with every choice in the project and delivers a set that is very well suited to the client's service proposal.”
“Getting to know each client's operation up close is fundamental to our work. This delivery is one more result of that relationship with the Uruguayan market.”
Previously from Busscar
This is not Busscar's only recent Vissta Buss 365 NB1 delivery in the region: in early October 2026 the manufacturer handed four of the same coaches to Uruguayan operator EGA, configured for long-distance travel with 50 sleeper-style seats. Days later it delivered four more Panorâmico DD NB1 double-deckers to Paraguay's NSA, completing a six-vehicle fleet-renewal order.

Why this matters
The coach is specified around passenger wellbeing and easier operation, so travellers on GL Turismo's long-distance tourism routes get reclining memory-foam seats, individual charging and a climate-controlled toilet. For Busscar, the handover continues the manufacturer's work with operators in the Uruguayan market, where it tailors configurations to each client's service profile.
