The company was founded in 1924 by Canadian Eugen Prevost after he had a chance to manufacture a passenger body on the chassis of an REO truck, because he was a carpenter by profession. Unsurprisingly, before 1940, all bus bodies (like many other bus manufacturers) were wooden. It was only in 1945 that they first began to be made of metal, but the racks remained wooden.

In the 1950s, it was decided to focus on tourist liners. The first model of this type was the Le Normand (1957) with aluminum sides, diesel and air suspension.

After 9 years, it was replaced by the more impressive Super Panoramique (length 12.2 m, width 2.6 m). After restyling, it received the name Champion and became the first integral bus on the continent.

And in 1968, the first of its own style buses, the Panorama, appeared, with curved side windows that extended onto a rounded roof. He, like his successors Mirage XL and Prestige, made Prevost famous. In addition to the main line, at the same time Prevost begins to offer cars without finishing - for third-party ateliers that build VIP limousines and motorhomes for specific orders. Over time, this direction has become the second most important.

In 1976, the company unveiled the legendary Le Mirage, which looked the most modern. The design was also matched - air suspension on all axles, automatic transmission, corrugated stainless steel body. Even the rivets on the sides are made invisible from the outside to emphasize the cutting edge look. Later this bus became the bestseller of the company, went through several upgrades and changed its name to the modest XL.

And in 1985, at a show in Las Vegas, Prevost again surprised colleagues by showing a novelty - the 5-axle 18-meter articulated tourist bus H5-60. It is clear that the luxurious and therefore expensive car was sold in limited quantities, but it allowed to test the solutions later used in the H. popular in the USA.

A year later, the company is bought out by the Volvo Group. The next ten years are spent in improving buses, introducing modern technologies and expanding the range. Currently, the company offers three series of buses: a 55-seat intercity X3-45, two versions of luxury tourist cars H3-41 and H3-45 (the latter has a record capacity of luggage compartments - 13.72 m3) and a European Volvo 9700. By the way, at all Canadian cars are optionally fitted with parent company units: Volvo D13 engines and I-Shift semi-automatic gearboxes.

Another direction of the company is cars for alteration for third-party ateliers. Their three VIP-series: XLII, H3 and X3. Their popularity is evidenced by the fact that on the basis of the X3-45 a special company Hemphill Brothers Coach Company built a bus-cabinet for President Barack Obama. And this is no coincidence, George W. Bush also had a Prevost VIP bus based on the XLII.
