Vicinity Motor Corp., formerly Grande West Transportation Group, secured a new purchase order from the County of Simcoe in Ontario, Canada for four Vicinity buses, for a total value over $1.6 million.
Per the terms of the supply agreement, the County of Simcoe will order three of the company’s 30-foot Vicinity buses as well as one larger 35-foot Vicinity bus for delivery in the first half of 2022.
“We are pleased to have secured this $1.6+ million agreement with the County of Simcoe, continuing our strong legacy as a leading bus supplier within the robust Canadian market,” said William Trainer, founder and CEO of Vicinity Motor Corp. “Our core business and strong reputation provide a springboard as we help enable the transition to low-emission and zero-emission options at public transit agencies across North America. We look forward to continued traction in our home market in the quarters ahead, supporting us as we expand into the lucrative U.S. market alongside our tier-one distribution partners.”
