Our Company
For several generations, Autobus Thomas has been supporting transportation companies in Eastern Canada with the same conviction: the quality of a bus is only valuable if it’s backed by a team that’s there when it counts. This approach still guides everything we do today and can be summed up in a few words: trust that stands the test of time. This is how we build lasting relationships based on reliability, service, and keeping our promises.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to offer transport companies more than just buses. To achieve this, we provide them with reliable vehicles, quick access to parts, and professional support at every stage of their fleet’s lifecycle. Our commitment goes far beyond the sale. Thanks to the quality of our service and the close relationships we maintain with our customers, we help ensure the continuity of their operations every day. Because, at the end of the day, our job is to give transit operators the confidence they need to hit the road, day after day.
Our History
Since its founding in 1980, Autobus Thomas has experienced growth marked by innovation, the development of its expertise, and the establishment of lasting relationships with transport companies. Several key milestones have shaped the company’s evolution, including successive expansions of its facilities, diversification into the commercial vehicle market, the arrival of a new generation of leaders, and the formation of new strategic partnerships.
This progress has also been reflected in significant recognition within the Thomas Built Buses network, notably winning the Dealer of the Year award in North America twice, as well as achieving Platinum Support certification. These accolades reflect our commitment to service quality and customer satisfaction.
Every step of our journey has helped build the company we are today: a trusted partner recognized for the quality of its vehicles, the expertise of its team, and its commitment to supporting its customers’ operations over the long term.
Trust is built over time, one journey at a time.
From day one, we’ve worked to build relationships that go far beyond the sale of a bus. Many transit operators have been with us for generations, just as we’ve supported them as their businesses have evolved. They are much more than business partners. We have the privilege of building lasting relationships with them—often between family-owned businesses—that share the same realities and goals.
This mutual trust has been built over time, both in simple moments and in more challenging situations. Because, for us, a true partner is there when everything is going well, but especially when solutions need to be found. Standing by our clients during the most difficult times—that is how trust is built and sustained over time.
