Our History

Operation

 

Neobus is a bus body manufacturer and has belonged to Marcopolo S.A. since 2016. With over 30 years of presence in the Brazilian market, it is one of the most important companies in the Brazilian bus industry, with an annual production of over 800 units.

Its performance is focused on serving the Caminho da Escola program, especially through federal, state and municipal bids. Its product line includes two models: the Thunder MIDI and the Thunder.

History

 

Neobus' history began in 1991, with the production of components for the automotive industry. In 2000, the company began to fully dedicate itself to the development of vehicles for transporting passengers, starting with the production of the Thunder+ micro bus: a unique and structured product for heavy traffic.

In 2002, it launched the Spectrum, a vehicle that represented not only a new alternative to the market, but the inauguration of a new category. This is justified by the fact that the model exceeds 9 meters in length, where the micro bus practically ends, and reaches 11 meters, where conventional bus measurements begin. Thus, ensuring its space in the market.

Neobus continued to develop new ideas and, in 2004, presented another new bus: the Thunder Plus, a micro bus with a door over the front axle, which allows six more passengers to be accommodated.

Between 2006 and 2008, the organization was strongly involved in charter-oriented models, as can be seen in the Spectrum Road and Spectrum Class lines, which represent solutions for a segment that grows every year due to the benefits offered by companies to their collaborators.

Two years later, in 2010, Neobus anticipated market expectations, presenting the Mega BRT, a bus designed and conceived to meet the high demands of public transport, including those of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. The Mega BRT is a solution that meets much more than the demands of large events, it is a model aimed at operating on segregated lanes and that, at the time, won the title of largest bus in the world.

In 2012, the company developed a line of Road models, the New Road N10, composed of vehicles that are unique in design, comfort and safety.

In 2016, Neobus was merged with Marcopolo S.A. and underwent restructuring, focusing its operations on serving the school and charter segments, especially through federal, state and municipal bids. The company is dedicated to producing vehicles that meet the specific needs of passengers, drivers, fleet owners and small transport entrepreneurs, in charter and school transport.

Focused on developing vehicles that represent true alternatives for the segments in which it operates, the company is always presenting new products that contribute to evolving the world of buses.

 

 

This is Neobus: innovative by nature.
