After a first successful show in 2019, the bus and coach industry is ready to meet in person again. Like other regions in the world, Southeast Asia’s bus & coach business was largely impacted by the pandemic. But now that the market is recovering and the time is perfect to relaunch the business at Busworld’s event.
Not only the coach business is picking up again, but also the bus industry is at a turning point with bus electrification plans being high on the agenda of the Indonesian government.

According to Askarindo, the association of bodybuilders in Indonesia, the four biggest companies Laksana, New Armada, Adi Putro and Tentrem represent between 85 and 90% of the market. They are all more than eager to showcase their latest buses and coaches at the show. Laksana will launch its brand new coach, which according to them will be an absolute eyecatcher. New Armada will also launch a new coach, the rest remains a secret and will be unveiled on the showfloor. Adi Putro will bring the only monocoque bus of Indonesia and Tentrem invites everyone to come and discover what they will be bringing in their booth.
