Grande West Transportation Group (BUS-V) Jan 11, '17 a Canadian bus manufacturer of heavy-duty mid-sized transit buses for sale in Canada and the United States is pleased to announce a major addition to clean air propulsion options for its Vicinity bus line.
Grande West is now offering clean burning, low emission Cummins ISB G engines for delivery on 2017 orders.
The ISB G Engine, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) has the lowest North American Emissions standards and is approved from both the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Air Resources Board (ARB) in California. This certification represents major emissions reduction well below current EPA nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards - providing the cleanest engine in the bus industry. The engine also greatly reduces Particulate Matter (PM) providing major greenhouse gas benefits.
Grande West has worked to engineer its CNG-powered Vicinity using components and systems that are of the highest quality and reliability. These buses will deliver the performance demanded by our customers as well as offer the best maintenance and serviceability available in the market. Most importantly, our CNG bus will retain the high level of content that will satisfy Canadian requirements, as well as US Buy America.
Jean-Marc Landry, Executive VP of Sales and Marketing stated, "We are seeing a growing demand for natural gas powered buses. CNG has helped transit customers meet stringent clean air requirements and is now being requested on many tenders in Canada and the US. The CNG option has been a requirement in many of our tenders as transit agencies move towards lower operating costs associated with CNG."
