BCI 6120 diesel electric hybrid bus

BCI is a bus and coach importer headquartered in Kewdale, Perth, Western Australia. It was established by former Hino dealer Ron Nazzari in 1991 as a small family-run operation. It initially imported buses from Malaysia, both fully assembled and in knocked down form.[2] In 2006, it moved production to China.[3] In May 2011, BCI opened the 48,000 square metre Xiamen Feng Tai Bus and Coach International factory in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China.[4] It sells buses in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.[5] Although manufactured in China, vehicles carry Australian Vehicle identification numbers.[6] In 2016, Ensignbus began to sell BCI products in the United Kingdom for the first time, starting with the BCI Enterprise high capacity integral double-decker.[7]
