Versatility and adaptability are the name of the game, which Gemilang Coachwork has demonstrated over the past three decades of being in business.

Being able to adjust products to the respective road safety regulations, Gemilang Coachwork managed to penetrate 15 markets by now. Key markets include a diverse range from Singapore to Australia, Hong Kong rto the USA. When asked about the main consideration to make this happen, it is the relationship with chassis manufacturers that is very unusual bus models. The latest trend is to have three doors in buses, which allows for faster embarkation and disembarkation with the added effect that passengers automatically disperse more evenly throughout the vehicle. Double-deckers are in demand while articulated buses have yet to become a more common product in Malaysia and Singapore.
