Prevost (bus Manufacturer)
Prevost (, ), formally known as Prevost Car, is a Canadian manufacturer of touring coaches and bus shells for high-end motorhomes and specialty conversions. The company is a subsidiary of the Volvo Buses division of the Volvo Group. History Early years (1924–1951) Prevost Car was founded by Eugène Prévost (1898–1965), a cabinet maker specializing in church pews and school furniture; in 1924 he was asked to build a custom bus body for a new REO truck chassis. Prévost's company received several repeat orders, but Prévost limited production to one bus body per winter.
