Historic
In 1946, the company Caio began its activities already as a bus builder and, in 1982, the Botucatu factory was officially inaugurated. In January 2001, a new group, made up of people transportation companies through the Induscar company, the manufacturing plant and the right to use and trade the products of the Caio brand. The group also operates in the sale of commercial vehicles, chassis for buses, trucks and domestic and imported automobiles. In March 2009, Induscar became the owner of the Caio brand and manufacturing plant. Today it is Caio Induscar.
With more than 75 years, Caio, manufacturer of buses, has much history to tell.
Founded in 1945 in the city of São Paulo, Caio (American Industrial Bus Company) started its activities in January 1946, with the production of the first bus of the brand: Jardineira. It was the beginning of the development of several other buses and new technologies.
In 2001, a new group arrived, and as they crossed the factory gates the dream of making the Caio brand even bigger was born. Under the current management, Caio produced, in the period from 2001 to 2017, around 130 thousand body shells, mostly focused on the urban segment.
Some Grupo shareholders have recently acquired assets of Busscar, a bus body brand with a history of excellence in road products and are bringing it back to the market.
And so the dream comes true every day. With daring, the mission has been fulfilled and the challenges overcome.
