What’s in a bus? To the average person, it seems there’s not much to it beyond wheels that go round, doors that open and shut, rows of seats and an engine that purrs. A bus is a bus is a bus.To the Founders of Bustech, though, a bus is that and so much more. As the Directors of the Gold Coast bus operator Surfside Buslines, they were so critically aware of what distinguished a normal bus from a multi-axle work of art on wheels that they became frustrated with the lack of innovation and limited bodybuilding options available at the time. So, in 1995, they created Bustech.

Its 2002, the groundbreaking VST model, featured a lightweight floor and greater seating capacity. Today, in response to current market needs and customers’ desires, Bustech continues to drive innovation and raise the bar with modern buses built for now and the future.

“We want to create a sustainable environment and economy with the deployment of zero-emission buses,” explains Bustech CEO Thinus Steyn. “And we also want to provide an integrated transport solution for the next generation of vehicles, ensuring that infrastructure and vehicles are connected.”
