Busscar Expands NB1 Family with Three New Bus Models: El Buss FT, EB 325, and EB 325L

What Happened

Busscar has expanded its NB1 family with three new models—El Buss FT, EB 325, and EB 325L—for charter, short trips, mid-distances, and highway passenger transport. The company says the models are designed to boost operators' competitiveness through higher fleet availability, lower operational and maintenance costs, and more comfort for drivers and passengers.

The launch marks a new design evolution for the NB1 family. The exterior lines gain a more modern identity, strengthening the models' presence and improving aerodynamic efficiency. New modular LED headlights and tail lights provide greater durability, better luminous efficiency, and easier module replacement during repairs. A new front grille completes the look.

A wider entrance makes boarding and alighting more comfortable for passengers and crew, while a door with a larger glazed area improves the driver's field of vision for safer driving. The cab offers more space and ergonomics, and a climate control system integrated between the cab and the passenger compartment delivers better thermal comfort throughout the journey.

Maintenance is simplified: tripartite bumpers allow replacing only the damaged section, cutting repair time and replacement costs. An electrical center installed in an easily accessible front compartment speeds up inspections, diagnostics, and maintenance services, increasing fleet availability.

Available configuration options
  • Air conditioning and heating
  • Multimedia system and satellite internet
  • USB sockets and toilet
  • Reversing camera and sensor
  • Different seat and finish configurations depending on model
With the expansion of the NB1 family, we reaffirm our commitment to offering solutions that add operational efficiency, comfort, reliability, and ease of maintenance to operators.
Paulo Corso, Commercial Director at Busscar

The NB1 family expansion follows a busy delivery period for Busscar. In recent weeks, the company delivered El Buss FT charter buses to operators Gidion Transporte Corporativo and São Geraldo, and previewed two new model debuts at LAT.BUS 2026. The family also includes the Panorâmico DD double-decker and the Vissta Buss 345, which have been delivered to Unisul Viagens and Auto Viação Cambuí respectively.

Why this matters

The new models give bus operators more competitive options for charter, short and mid-distance, and highway services, with features aimed at cutting maintenance costs and downtime. Buyers can expect more durable LED lighting, easier repairs, and improved driver and passenger comfort, which helps Busscar strengthen its presence in Brazil's passenger transport market.
