The Custom Coaches SB50 is a new-generation school bus body built by Australian company Custom Coaches. Like its CB80 sibling, the SB50 uses new technology in its construction.

Features include:

• A seating capacity up to 61
• Larger rear engine door with removable bumper
• Large side doors for easy access
• Removable front bumper
• A large access hatch for front end sign
• Hinged air conditioning ducting with access to wiring

The SB50 frame is built using stainless or galvanised steel , which is built using 3D technology, making it more accurate. Parts are no longer manually produced, instead they are computer designed and formed by a five-axis router.

It was built upon a Hino chassis and was unveiled in 2010.
