History

Express Coach Builders was originally formed as Nambucca River Engineering in 1971.[1] It primarily built custom bodies on mid-sized chassis, initially Leylands and later Hinos, Mercedes, Isuzus, Kamaz although it did body full sized 40foot chassis in both bus and coach configuration.[2]

After being placed in receivership in 1995 it was restructured and renamed Express Coach Builders.[3] In October 2007 the 500th body was completed.[4]
