The Australasian bus and coach industry has been at the forefront of the local zero-emissions transition, with a recent focus on safety as well as sustainability. The industry is now seeing the introduction of new battery electric and hydrogen fuel-cell models in addition to the existing efforts towards a net-zero future. A significant development is the federal government's announcement of mandating Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) on all new zero-emissions vehicles in Australia by November 2025 to enhance pedestrian safety. This aligns Australia with other developed countries already implementing this technology. Companies in the industry are embracing this dual focus on sustainability and safety, with innovations in the seating and flooring market being highlighted. Local manufacturers like StyleRide, McConnell, Sege Seats, Camira, Altro, and SGESCO-MAX are investing in high-quality, comfortable, and secure seating models, intricate manufacturing processes for flooring, and premier passenger safety solutions. ABC magazine also celebrates a new partnership with the Bus and Coach Association of New Zealand, aiming to expand its reach and coverage across the region. The magazine features stories ranging from technological advancements in the industry to the discovery and restoration of Australia's famous bus, Priscilla. The May edition promises a wealth of insights and updates from the vibrant Australasian bus and coach industry.
