What Happened
Busscar has built six Panorâmico DD NB1 double-decker buses for Viação Piracicabana, intended for regular highway passenger service. The buses combine two seating classes, safety technologies and several customization proposals, which Busscar says demonstrates the model’s versatility in meeting different operations. According to the manufacturer, the Panorâmico DD NB1 expands its options for the highway segment.
Each bus has 54 seats: 46 Class Leito Turismo seats on the upper deck and eight Leito Cama Buss seats on the lower deck, the latter offering more space and convenience. All seats have leg and foot rests, individual USB ports, three-point seat belts and cup holders. Accessibility features include a wheelchair lift, reserved spaces and tactile markings.
- Two buses: orange and purple livery with Mobifácil, a digital platform for searching and buying road tickets.
- Two buses: black livery — one with Mato Grosso do Sul/Três Lagoas/Pantanal references (tuiuiú, vegetation, mate, berrante, viola); one celebrating Araçatuba with bull, araçá, railroad and local architecture.
- Two buses: silver livery.
Onboard comfort includes hot-and-cold climate control, air renewal, an anti-pollen filter and acoustic insulation. Wi-Fi, outlets, USB ports and a multimedia system with smartphone mirroring support connectivity, and refrigerated support areas add practicality. The driver’s station has a pneumatically damped seat and climate-controlled environment, with an individual Class Leito Turismo seat for the assistant.
On the safety side, the Panorâmico DD NB1 is mounted on a Mercedes-Benz O-500 RSD 2745 8×2 chassis. It features AEBS for emergency braking assistance, LDWS for lane-departure warning and a blind-spot side sensor. Telemetry, door locking, a reversing camera and pneumatic locking of luggage compartments round out the package.
“This delivery reflects BUSSCAR’s work in offering a product that combines different seating standards, safety resources and its own identity. It is a combination that adds value to the vehicle and to the passenger experience.”
Previously from Busscar
Busscar expanded its NB1 family in August 2026 with three new models — El Buss FT, EB 325 and EB 325L — for charter and highway services, promising lower maintenance costs and more comfort. Earlier that month it delivered six El Buss FT buses to Gidion Transporte Corporativo, marking Gidion’s first Busscar models.

Why this matters
The delivery shows a single double-decker model being adapted to an operator's route needs through two seat grades, accessibility features and safety systems, so Piracicabana passengers get different comfort and connectivity options on regular highway service. Travelers also gain onboard Wi-Fi, USB ports and smartphone mirroring. Busscar says the model broadens its highway-segment offering.
