Grande West Transportation Group Inc. announced that it received an order from a private operator in the U.S..
Grande West's U.S. distributor Alliance Bus Group received the order from a private shuttle operator for nine Vicinity buses to be delivered in the second quarter of 2019.
Rob Mowat, VP of sales and marketing stated, ”This order furthers the Vicinity footprint in the U.S, private shuttle market. I will continue to work closely with ABG to continue to convert our large pipeline of potential orders into firm orders. The Vicinity is a clear winner for both public and private operators where capital investment and operating costs can be saved by ‘Right-Sizing’ fleets.”
These orders are already included in the previously disclosed backlog as part of the order from ABG for one hundred buses announced on October 10, 2017. Current total firm orders included in the backlog are for approximately one hundred eighty buses valued at over $61 million CAD ($46.23 million). Deliveries will vary from quarter to quarter to account for different build specifications, customer acceptance and revenue recognition.
