Previously from Busscar
Busscar has been rolling out and delivering its NB1-family buses through 2026. In August it launched three new NB1 models, the El Buss FT, EB 325 and EB 325L, for charter and highway services, and it also gathered employees at its factory for a "Momento BUSSCAR" event to showcase the new NB1 models. Earlier in September it delivered six Panorâmico DD NB1 double-deckers to Viação Piracicabana, with 46 upper-level and 8 lower-level seats and custom liveries.

Why this matters
The order adds another NB1-family coach delivery for Busscar and shows how much of the specification for long-distance buses now goes into the passenger cabin rather than the drivetrain. Travellers on this operator's routes get USB charging, reading lights and accessibility equipment such as a wheelchair lift, while drivers get aids including a rear parking sensor and dashboard alerts.
