Nova Bus wins order to manufacture buses for Halifax Transit

Nova Bus has won a bid to supply and deliver up to 150 40-ft LFS diesel buses over a three-year period to Halifax Transit.

The transit service provider has the option to renew for two additional one-year periods.

Halifax Transit operates over 300 city buses, including about 127 Nova Bus vehicles. This contract consolidates a partnership that started in 2010.

To meet the needs of fleet expansion and replacement, the new five-year contract includes the delivery of up to 190 buses that will be manufactured in Saint-Eustache and Saint-François-du-Lac, Quebec, where the chassis are made.

Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2021.
