What Happened
September 2026 is a special moment for Busscar: the brand turns 80. Since 1946 the company has followed the evolution of passenger transport, taking its buses to cities and highways in Brazil and in several international markets. Busscar says it built that history alongside customers, partners, employees, drivers and passengers, and it also credits specialist media and "busólogos" — bus enthusiasts who follow its products, record moments and help keep the passion for buses alive. Celebrating 80 years, the company adds, means recognizing that legacy while continuing to evolve.
Busscar begins its history following the evolution of passenger transport.
The Busscar brand completes 80 years and presents four new NB1-family products as part of the celebrations.
- Panorâmico 410
- El Buss 325L
- El Buss 325
- El Buss FT
- All four expand the NB1 family and add options for the tourism and charter segments.
Busscar says each launch represents a new chapter in its trajectory, with new designs, details and solutions developed for different operations. The company describes 2026 as a year of novelties, and says eight decades of experience are driving its new projects and preparing it for the paths ahead. It thanks everyone who has been part of the story, expressing pride in what has been built and enthusiasm for what is still to come. The anniversary message closes with the line: "BUSSCAR 80 anos. Movimento que transporta Sonhos."
“Celebrating 80 years means recognizing this legacy and, at the same time, continuing to evolve.”
Previously from Busscar
Busscar has been building out its NB1 family through 2026: in August it launched three NB1 models — El Buss FT, EB 325 and EB 325L — for charter and highway services, promising lower maintenance costs and more comfort. In early September it gathered employees at its factory for "Momento BUSSCAR," an event celebrating the people behind the new NB1 buses.

Why this matters
Busscar has been building buses since 1946 and sells in Brazil and in several international markets, so its anniversary launches matter to the operators who buy coaches and to the tourism and charter segments it is targeting with these models. The four new vehicles widen the NB1 family at a moment when the company is presenting itself as still evolving.
