What Happened
Busscar delivered four Panorâmico DD NB1 coaches to Viação Piracicabana, destined for regular road transport. The configuration combines capacity, technology and safety to add quality to the service the operator offers. Solutions on board are aimed both at travellers and at the crew working on the vehicle.
- 44 Class Leito Turismo seats
- 12 Leito seats, for more space and comfort on longer journeys
- Leg rests and foot rests.
- Retractable lateral armrest next to the aisle, for easier access to and from the seat.
- Retractable three-point seat belt.
- Cup holder and individual USB socket.
Comfort details include hot and cold air conditioning with an anti-pollen filter, air renewal and acoustic insulation. Interior lighting, furniture and bars with refrigeration and refrigerators, plus a restroom with a smoke detector, add convenience to the service. Accessibility is covered by reserved seats, tactile identification and a wheelchair lift.
- Wi-Fi on board, individual USB sockets and 110 V power outlets at the seats.
- Touchscreen multimedia system with smartphone mirroring, an audio and video manager and a digital TV receiver.
- Displays in both salons show the time and restroom occupancy, while intercoms and audible and visual alerts support communication with the crew.
- Telemetry monitors vehicle information, and a door-locking system stops the bus moving with the doors open and prevents them opening while it is moving.
- Rear camera and audible reverse alarm, plus pneumatic locking of the baggage compartments with an indication on the dashboard.
Attention to the crew also shows in the cabin. The driver's seat has pneumatic damping, a three-point seat belt and retractable armrests for more comfort and freedom of movement at the wheel. The cabin also has climate control and a windshield demisting system. The onboard assistant gets an individual Class Leito Turismo seat.
“This configuration brings together solutions that add value to the service and contribute to Piracicabana's routine, with features aimed at passengers and at the team working on board.”
Previously from Busscar
Busscar recently handed another Panorâmico DD NB1 to Grupo CMW of Bragança Paulista, a custom-specified double-decker seating 64 passengers on a Volvo B510R 8×2 Euro 6 chassis. The manufacturer is also marking its 80th year with four new coaches — Panorâmico 410, El Buss 325L, El Buss 325 and El Buss FT — that expand its NB1 family.

Why this matters
The delivery gives Piracicabana four new coaches configured for scheduled intercity service, so passengers get more comfortable and accessible travel while the driver and onboard assistant work with equipment designed for their routine. It also shows how a manufacturer tailors a single coach model to an operator's specific mix of capacity, amenities and safety features.
