We are honored to be the recipient of ARBOC’s 2,000th bus and look forward to celebrating future milestones within their industry.”

This ARBOC bus has established a reputation for being one of the safest and well-built buses on the market today.”
Don Roberts, President & CEO of ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, states, “I am extremely proud to say that ARBOC has taken the small cutaway low-floor bus concept and grown it into a widely accepted transportation solution for transit operators all across North America today. It took us around 4 years to reach bus number 1,000 and then just a little over 2 years to reach bus number 2,000. This 2,000th bus milestone celebration was a great opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of all of the men and women who work at this company, many of which have been here since we started”.
