Higer expands bus finance solutions

The Higer Finance program is a unique offering in the Australian market, providing a range of financing options to meet the diverse needs of bus and coach operators.

CEO of WMC Group, Jason Pecotic, said Higer's goal is to provide its customers with industry-leading cost of ownership across the life of the vehicle.

"We are delighted that, by working with Macquarie Leasing to offer Higer Finance, we are able to deliver on that goal and provide bus and coach operators with options that better match their specific requirements," said Jason Pecotic.

Higer, Australia's fastest growing bus brand, manufactures its buses and coaches in China using world-class technology and components, including Cummins engines, Allison and ZF transmissions, Meritor Axles and European designed chassis. The range is tailored to meet Australian standards, and all Higer models now feature heightened corrosion resistance.

The company's product line up starts at the seven-metre 'Munro' mini bus and ranges up to full 12.3 metre 'RoadBoss' coaches catering to a variety of applications and specific requirements from high-end tourist transport to city commuter route buses.

In 2011 Higer was the most popular non-route bus brand in the Australian market and recorded substantial growth despite a downturn in the Australian bus and coach market.
