Bus Manufacturing

As we know that the model of bus recently has variously and updated model. Most of bus body builder has own model and type. In the beginning bus manufacturing grew out of carriage coachwork builders, and later out of automobile or truck manufacturing enterprises. Early buses were merely a bus body fitted to a truck chassis. This body plus chassis approach has continued into modern specialist manufacturers, although there also exist integral manufacturers of complete bus or coach products. Specialist builders also exist and concentrate on building buses for special uses, or modifying standard buses into specialised products.

As with the auto-industry, into the 20th century, bus manufacturing is increasingly a globalised activity, with manufacturers producing buses far from their intended market to exploit labour and material cost advantages. As with the car industry, new models are often exhibited by manufacturers at prestigious industry shows to gain new orders. Now days bus body builder or carroserie as we known in Indonesia called karoseri has grew up with modern technology. We know there are several huge carroserie industri in Indonesia such as : New Armada, Rahayu Santosa, Adi Putro, Morodadi Prima, Laksana, Tentrem and many more. They have own specification and quality. Just for instant PT Adiputro Wirasejati (known as Adi Putro) has famous with air suspension technology and aerodynamic. So carosserie industri specially for bus in Indonesia has leading a lot.
