Masats will exhibit for the first time at the Australasian Bus & Coach Expo, taking place on 15–16 July at Sydney Showground, where the Spanish doors manufacturer will showcase its latest bus door and accessibility solutions for urban transport.

Although this marks Masats’ first participation as an exhibitor at the Australian trade fair, the company says its automatic door systems have been supplied for luxury coaches operating in Australia for several years.

According to Masats, participation in the Australasian Bus & Coach Expo forms part of its international growth strategy and is intended to strengthen its presence in Australia, where the company aims to expand relationships with vehicle manufacturers and public transport operators.
