In these times of unprecedented challenges and when doing business the “normal” way may not return for quite some time, Prevost is offering support to embattled operators.

“Prevost is here for you — that’s the message we want to convey to our customers and to the industry as a whole”, says Prevost GM Francois Tremblay. “While so much of this crisis is out of our control, Prevost’s goal is to do everything we can to provide some peace of mind. With that guiding us, we have embraced a Clean + Care approach to all that we are doing for operators.”
