Nova Bus is offering several new products to its customers to enhance safety, cleanliness, and security onboard its public transportation vehicles, as operations gradually resume across several of its sites.
“As operations gradually restart in our North American facilities, our teams have been diligently working on new products and sanitary solutions to support our customers during these unprecedented times,” said Martin Larose, VP/GM of Nova Bus. “Working in collaboration with health authorities, operators and industry associations, we recognized that it was essential to provide solutions that will allow our customers to operate as safely as possible in this new reality.”
To help ensure a safe and clean environment, Nova Bus is offering features such as:
24-month parts warranty for parts installed within our service center network
LFS driver barrier to provide operators with extra protection
Safety alert decals
Seat indications for social distancing
Implementation of APTA cleaning procedures to help operators clean and disinfect vehicles as well as protect drivers and passengers
Additionally, Nova Bus service and distribution centers remain open and operational. Their teams of technicians continue to ensure a quick response to customers’ repair needs all the while supporting operators to clean and disinfect vehicles following industry procedures as well as to protect drivers and passengers. A contact free pick-up parts service is also offered at our service centers with parts warehouses to help minimize interaction and provide customers with the parts they need.
