Washington, D.C. – The American Bus Association Foundation has released its third quarter 2018 Motorcoach Builder Survey. Based on surveys of the major motorcoach manufacturers that sell vehicles in the United States and Canada, third quarter 2018 sales came to 732 units, a 4.6 percent increase in sales from last year.
There was a dip in sales in the 30- to 45-foot motorcoach sales; however, 45-foot motorcoach sales saw another quarter of double-digit growth, 17.5 percent, with 484 units sold.
“These sales numbers show what our members have been saying over the past two years – that business is good,” says ABA Foundation President Peter Pantuso. “More people are traveling by motorcoach and the industry is responding by upgrading inventory and adding more amenities that passengers now come to expect when they step on a motorcoach.”
