Under their own name, the Germans came out with their buses in the States in 1984 with the appearance of the 200 series buses, forming a special branch. This advent was successful. In 1993, a long-wheelbase 3-axle Setra S217 in the style of the American design school, but with a European face, was specially designed for the United States. This combination fully justified itself, 800 buses of this family were sold in the USA. The last S217 was shipped to the States in September 2001. Then there was a lull.

 This time, they immediately went the beaten path and presented the Americans with not a European version, but a modification created specifically for the United States, which only design has in common with European models. Otherwise, this is a wider and longer 3-axle "American" with a Detroit Diesel 60 series engine and an Allison B500R transmission.

New manufacturers are constantly trying to penetrate America's extremely conservative bus market today. So, three years ago, the small city bus manufacturer Glaval announced the start of sales of the Synergy tourist family. In 2011, Navistar did the same. The latest news was the arrival of the BCI Falcon on the market. It is produced for the US market by an Australian company at its Chinese plant in Xiamen. However, these machines do not make the weather on the market so far.
