In 2025, UNVI will celebrate 30 years as a bodybuilder.

UNVI to launch new body in 2025

Now the company unveiled at FIAA that in October 2025 it will present its new C26 urban and suburban bodywork at Busworld, “a modern, functional and sustainable model with maximum weight optimisation, designed with passenger and driver comfort in mind and made of environmentally friendly materials”, in UNVI’s words.

In the domestic market, UNVI focuses on the minibus segments, with expectations to exceed 140 units by 2024. This growth has prompted the opening in 2023 of a new manufacturing centre for van conversion.

UNVI underlines it has invested over 4 million euros between 2021 and 2024 in technology and digitalisation. In 2010, it was the first coachbuilder to market a hybrid convertible double-decker bus, and in 2018, it introduced what claims being first 100% electric convertible double-decker. Today, more than 20% of its bodies are built on electric chassis.

UNVI has a team of more than 300 employees and a production capacity of up to 400 units per year.
