MTA NYC Transit contract requires Nova Bus to provide the Nova LFS buses in three different configurations, to assess the various transmission and cooling technologies available. Along with a $25 million private investment to construct the 140,000sqft facility in 2009, Nova Bus's presence in the North Country has led to the creation of more than 200 direct jobs and has brought five suppliers to establish facilities in the area, generating an additional 250 jobs. Gilles Dion, president and CEO of Nova Bus, said: "The Nova Bus team is keenly focused on sustainable business development, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to pursue our partnership with one of the leading transit authorities in North America."
