Bustech started out building bodies on Mercedes-Benz O400's, for its affiliate Surfside Buslines. The company then moved its focus to building low-floor buses on the Mercedes-Benz O405NH chassis. Bustech have built low-floor buses, route buses, school buses, minibuses and even coaches in its relatively short history. They have built more than 480 bodies since they began 8 years ago. Chassis built on include:
Bustech designed and built the first low-entry, wheelchair accessible minibus in 2001 on the Mercedes-Benz LO815 chassis. But Bustech did not have the factory capacity at that time to build any in large numbers. Its rival, Custom Coaches, began to build these mini-buses, under licence, at the Arundel, Queensland plant as the CB20 body. In 2004, the Bustech factory was moved from Burleigh Heads to a significantly larger purpose-built facility at Reedy Creek, where up to 250 buses can be produced a year, in a new production-line format. The environmentally friendly plant opened on the 26 October, after a $10 million investment and a three-year design and development phase. Bustech's major product today is the low-floor VST body. It is also beginning to manufacture a 61-seat school bus body called the Graduate. (kilde: Wikipedia)
