The business had its origins in a firm created on September 17, 1946, when two brothers of Swedish descent, Augusto Bruno Nielson and Eugênio Nielson, opened a carpentry shop in Joinville, where they made wooden furniture, window frames and desks. One year later, Nielson & Brother remodeled the first bus body. In 1949 they built a bus body entirely in wood, attached to a large Chevrolet chassis.

This was the starting point of a business that in a few decades would turn into an important bus manufacturing company in the American market.

When Harold Nielson (Augusto's elder son) joined the company in 1956 it was en route to becoming the segment leader in Brazil, with innovative and revolutionary products, such as the Diplomata model in 1961, the Urbanuss in 1987, the Panorâmico DD in 1998, and many others.

In 1990, the business, by then called Carrocerias Nielson, launched a new family of vehicles and changed its name to Busscar Ônibus, creating a mark that is still known today in international and Brazilian markets, despite the company's later demise.

On 27 September 2012, the Brazilian Judiciary of Santa Catarina declared the bankruptcy of Busscar due to the effects from economic crisis of 2008.[1]

The judge of the 5th Civil Court of Joinville, Walter Santin Júnior, approved in a final ruling on 21 March 2017, the purchase of Joinville factory. For the business is to be deposited R$9.4 million in cash and another R$57.74 million to be paid in 52 installments with monetary correction. None of the new projects and new company name are known, however since May 2017, new contracts employment could be signed after End of the Justice process.[2]

On June 12, 2017 Maurício Lourenço da Cunha represented by Sergio Souza assumes the factories and gave a name Carbuss - Indústria de Carrocerias Catarinense Ltda.[3]

Busscar Ônibus S.A. war ein brasilianischer Hersteller von Autobussen, ansässig in Joinville. Die 1946 gegründete Firma stellte, nachdem sie 2008 stark in wirtschaftliche Schwierigkeiten geraten war, 2010 die Produktion ein. Im Jahr 2011 befand sich die Firma in Abwicklung und über eine Übernahme der Produktionsstätten durch Caio Induscar, möglicherweise in Partnerschaft mit dem vormals größten Konkurrenten von Busscar, Marcopolo, wird spekuliert.[1] Busscar unterhielt auch Fabriken in Kolumbien und Mexiko. Im September 2012 stellte schließlich ein brasilianisches Gericht den Bankrott des Unternehmens fest.
