Fast Concept Car, a French coach and bus manufacturer, has counted on European expansion and created Fast Europe S.A., with headquarters in Belgium.

Fast Concept Car is 100 % owned by the F.A.S.T. group, which itself is fully controlled by the Ringeard family. At present, F.A.S.T. is the number four ranking carrier of people in France. It has a fleet of over 1,500 vehicles. Moreover, the group also does business organising travel and operates 15 travel agencies in France. Finally, it is a distributor of spare parts for coaches (under the Laporte name), the buyer and reseller of second-hand vehicles plus the exclusive distributor of Otokar midibuses in France and Benelux.

The group founded the Fast Concept Car company in 1996 to produce and distribute buses that are completely adapted to the needs of school, interurban and occasional travel transport. 365 vehicles were produced at the Alençon (France) factory and approximately Otokar 50 midibuses were sold in 2006, which ranks Fast Concept Car number three among French manufacturers.

Fast Europe SA's goals

In view of the success in France and the growing demand for Fast brand vehicles, a decision was made to found Fast Europe SA. Fast Europe SA will operate from Belgium, with the main goal of implementing Fast's expansion in Europe. Fast Europe will initially concentrate on the sale of Fast and Otokar vehicles in the Benelux market. Sales will become generalised throughout Europe in autumn 2007.

The new company will also sell spare parts for buses and tourism coaches. It will also be a buyer and reseller of second-hand buses. Finally, it intends to create a European support service and after-sales network for all of its supplied products. It was decided to establish Fast Europe SA in Belgium due to a concern for centralisation. PR FAST EUROPE NV
