Motor Coach Industries has announced that NJ Transit issued a purchase order for year three of its six year contract to manufacture and deliver 182 commuter coaches for an approximate total value of $93 million.
MCI expects to have completed all year two deliveries of 187 commuter coaches by May 31, 2018, and will begin production of year three coaches starting in September of 2018. The MCI Commuter Coaches are powered by clean diesel which has exhaust emissions reduced as required by the latest Clean Air Act amendments and feature a 57-seat configuration that is Wi-Fi ready, seatbelt-equipped and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
“It is our privilege to support NJ Transit in its mission to provide safe, reliable, convenient and cost-effective transit service to the people of the great State of New Jersey,” said Tom Wagner, MCI vice president public sector. “We attribute the continued partnership to both the quality of our coaches and the strong service relationship forged with NJ Transit.”
