ABC Companies announced that it has entered into a strategic U.S. distribution agreement with Grande West.

The ABC distributorship supports Grande West’s focus on U.S. expansion as it begins marketing the fully Buy America compliant Vicinity heavy duty mid-size bus, the Vicinity Lightning EV, and Vicinity LT light-duty models to new and existing customers.

Under the new agreement, ABC will distribute the manufacturer’s Vicinity heavy-duty vehicles throughout the western U.S., from Texas to California. The Vicinity line fills in key transit and private shuttle markets within the ABC portfolio of new vehicles for these locations, enhancing the offering to current customers while expanding to other sectors.

The new agreement also expands ABC’s growing battery-electric portfolio, which currently spans from passenger transport vans up to 45-foot motorcoaches, as well as double-deck zero-emission vehicles.
