Buyer
Bus body builders
Buy materials for every bus, place repeat orders and pay BusBuild.
For India's bus body builders
Every bus you build, sourced in one place.
You take a bare chassis and build the whole bus on it, to your travel operator's requirement. BusBuild organises the materials that go into it: aluminium, panels, flooring, sealants and fittings, with credit options and coordinated delivery to your workshop.
In · bare chassis
Bought by the travel operator from the chassis maker, with a body spec.
Our customer
The bus body builder
Builds the full body on the chassis: frame, panels, flooring, interiors and sealing, to the operator's spec.
Every new bus is a fresh material order.
Out · finished bus
Handed over to the travel operator, ready for the road.
Who it's for
Body builders buy. Operators decide the spec.
BusBuild sits between the workshop and its suppliers, and brings the operator into the material conversation where it matters.
