Bustech is an Australian bus bodywork company, established in 1998 on the Gold Coast, Queensland.[1]. It is owned by the Transit Australia Group, where buses are produced for its sister companies, Surfside Buslines and Sunbus. Originally, Bustech worked out of a factory in Ernest, but in October 2004 they moved into a new $10 million factory at West Burleigh.[2]

Both the MDi and XDi will shortly turn to using only Cummins due to the ceasing of caterpillar's highway engines.
