Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is inviting operators to come visit MCI this spring and summer. It will be worth the while. MCI is showcasing its best-selling coaches and a New Flyer model at six one-day Reliability Rallies at MCI Sales and Service Centers in five U.S. cities and in Montreal, offering operators and their staffs test drives, educational sessions, food, fun and some of the year’s best discounts and deals on MCI and Setra coaches.
MCI's teams will be on-site, including sales, service and support, along with supplier partners, the top-selling, luxuriously- equipped MCI J4500 coach, the workhorse D-Series, the New Flyer MiDi — a medium-sized, multipurpose low-floor bus ideal for all types of service, including shuttles, and Setra models.
The Reliability Rallies will take place at the following MCI Sales and Service Centers: May 12 in Winter Garden, FL; May 24 in Dallas, TX June 1 in Los Alamitos, CA; June 16 in Des Plaines, IL; July 12 in Blackwood, NJ; and July 19 in Montreal.
“This is a chance to say thank you to our loyal customers and offer a convenient, enjoyable tour of our products and services to new operators who have never tried MCI, Setra, or New Flyer before,” said Patricia Ziska, vice president of new coach sales. “It’s a great chance to see our executives, our service facilities and the great deals we’re offering on all our products.”
Attendees will get a special opportunity to see the anticipated restyled, value-priced Setra S 407, now updated with optional exterior features similar to the Setra S 417, including a 2017-compliant Mercedes Benz/Detroit platform engine and other luxurious interior and trim options.
"It’s an exciting time in the history of our company, and we encourage operators, in the private and public sectors, large and small, to join us with their staffs for a fun day. We’ll bring you up to speed on a wide range of coach improvements and the enhanced service features we’re providing all of our customers,” said Brent Maitland, vice president of marketing and product planning.
New Flyer, which acquired MCI December 18, 2015, is the largest bus and motor coach manufacturer in North America with a shared philosophy of exceptional product reliability, service and support.
