Avant Grup, a coach company in Barcelona, has its origin at the end of the 1950s, when two young entrepreneurs started a business adventure, founding two family coach companies. In a difficult social situation, in which the country’s economy was slowly beginning to recover, they saw clearly the mobility that people were going to need in the near future..
Autocares Canals in Barcelona and Bardet Autocares in Sabadell (Vallès Occidental) grew and developed in parallel, thanks to their personal and family endeavours.
Two family companies that, based on the development of tourism in Barcelona thanks to the celebration of the Olympic Games in 1992, directed their energies towards this emerging sector in the city, adapting the fleets and structures of the two companies to the new needs demanded by the market, consolidating themselves as benchmark coach companies in the tourism sector.
At the beginning of the 21st century, and in view of the new horizon presented by Barcelona, with the increase in cruise and congress activity, they decided to undertake a new innovative project. With the aim of giving a global response to the challenges that this growth demanded, they founded a new company and unified the corporate image of the three coach companies and the entire fleet, giving rise to what is now known as Avant Grup, a coach company in Barcelona.
The result is a business group that offers a fleet of Barcelona coaches, with a homogeneous aesthetics of more than 180 units, made up of coaches, minibuses and luxury vehicles and vans with drivers.
