Previously from Busscar
Busscar has recently delivered El Buss FT buses to other Brazilian charter operators. On July 29, 2026, the company delivered two El Buss FT buses to São Geraldo, with 47 reclining seats, an accessibility lift, and a telemetry system. Today's six-bus order for Gidion continues that rollout of the model in charter service.

Why this matters
The delivery modernizes Gidion's corporate charter fleet with buses that prioritize passenger comfort, accessibility, and driver ergonomics. For people who ride corporate shuttles daily, that means air conditioning, USB charging, and features like a wheelchair lift that make service more inclusive. It also strengthens the partnership between Busscar and the Joinville, SC-based operator as it expands its green-liveried charter operation.
