ABC magazine takes a look back at the year that was with a 12-part online special
Like fine wine, some things just get better with time.
And while the bus industry can surely appreciate a fine wine (or two), there have been times throughout there year when it was important to get down to business.
It was a year of achievements for industry and now it’s time to take a look back at the year of 2015.

The year started off with a bang with an announcement from Bustech the company had been chosen to be part of a Malaysian consortium to design and manufacture electric buses on the Gold Coast.
Bustech chief executive officer Michael McGee says the project is a ground breaking partnership – which was recognised later in the year with the Bus Industry Confederation (BIC) National Awards.
