BCI Bus

BCI Bus

BCI is an Australian owned and operated bus and coach company. The company was established by Ron J. Nazzari in 1991 and started as a small family-run business.

The BCI brand has a long history in the Australian bus market and today, the company is one of the largest bus and coach companies in Australia, while still maintaining a family focussed approach to business.

The manufacturing of the BCI vehicles takes place in a production facility in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China. BCI buses have been supplied to the Australian, New Zealand, American, Canadian and Asian markets.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles

In response to the challenge of global warming that has increased public awareness of environmental issues, BCI has been at the forefront of the public transport industry in Australia. BCI created innovative diesel and electric hybrid vehicles, such as the BCI 6120 Diesel Electric Hybrid Bus, to work towards reducing carbon emissions.

In reference to the company's environmentally-friendly diesel and electric buses, Allen Matzel of ABC Magazine explains that the BCI Hybrid System produces less carbon dioxide, less nitrous oxides and less particulates. He states "BCI Australia has invested with Eaton Corporation, USA, to offer a superior hybrid system" [ABC Australasian Bus and Coach] .

The BCI Hybrid technology is inexpensive compared to other manufacturers and does not require large capital expenditure to maintain and service. The combination of cost-effectiveness and environmental-friendliness is reflective of the BCI slogan 'Building a World of Difference'.

BCI has also focussed greatly on the development of improved bus and coach transport designs tailored for passengers with disabilities. These vehicles have been employed by State governments in Australia and offer improved wheelchair accessibility [2] .

BCI cooperates with a wide range of internationally recognised and high quality parts suppliers, including Eaton, Caterpillar Inc. and Cummins.
