Grande West Transportation Group Inc. has announced new orders for nine Vicinity buses for a combined order total of approximately $4.5 million.
Hamilton Street Railway has ordered five compressed natural gas (CNG) Vicinity buses. This is a first time order for HSR and will be delivered through Grand West's eastern Canadian service and sales partner City View in the first quarter of 2018. The city of Moose Jaw also ordered an additional four Vicinity buses.
William Trainer, CEO of Grande West stated, "We are very pleased to receive follow on orders from existing customers and forge new relationships with transit agencies throughout Canada. It's very exciting to be working with HSR with our new CNG Vicinity. HSR has a tremendous history in CNG propulsion as they pioneered the world's first fleet of CNG buses in 1985. HSR is very familiar with the technology and we are looking forward to supporting their operations team as the buses are rolled out into revenue service."
