ABC Companies will launch its transit market entry at the upcoming APTA EXPO, where the company will exhibit as a transit vehicle distributor, showcasing a range of vehicles and technologies designed to address emerging market trends and needs.
ABC says it made the decision to sell transit vehicles based on a need for more customized solutions to address the ever-evolving transit landscape. Its adaptive new line-up of custom-created vehicles, featuring a range of available sizes, power options, body styles and technologies, will give transit agencies greater choice, scalability and flexibility, paired with the guidance they need to successfully spec and purchase vehicles that best meet their needs.
With ABC as a distributor, transit agencies will also benefit from being able to buy, find parts for and service their vehicles all with one partner, helping to streamline operations, instill greater confidence in their fleet choices and save them time and money.
“Transit agencies are challenged to do more with less, address emerging demand for more flexible options and green their fleets—all while enhancing the rider experience,” noted ABC Companies President and Chief Commercial Officer Roman Cornell. “ABC is here to help. We’ve entered the transit vehicle distributor market with transformative new offers and products that meet these evolving needs and empower agencies to successfully navigate these complexities, while providing the same level of transparency and personalized service they’ve come to expect from us. With ABC as their distributor, agencies will reimagine transit, challenge assumptions and be more agile.”
ABC has developed partnerships with Vicinity Motor Corporation, Optimal EV, Proterra, New England Wheels, Turtle Top and more, and will showcase a range of vehicles and technologies at APTA booth number 1901, as well as at the Vicinity show booth number 1701. The vehicles on display were chosen because they represent ABC’s ability to address emerging trends, from smaller models and cut-aways that help meet the growing need for more hyper-local and micro-transit options, to low-floor and modified body chassis that combine ADA compliance and enhanced rider experience with transit-on-demand flexibility.
“From intracity to cross-country, from diesel to electric, ABC’s versatile new lineup of transit vehicles delivers the right solutions—the right sizes, the right technology, the right power levels, the right price—and we always do right by you, giving you the comfort and confidence you need to achieve your goals,” added Cornell. “We’re not just entering the distributor market quietly; we’re entering with equity, history and new solutions that challenge assumptions and drive progress. ABC’s suite of transit solutions are more than just buses, vans or engines; they are truly vehicles of change.”
