[IMAGE]LaQuebecoisecoach1Full.jpg[/IMAGE] Autobus La Québécoise Inc., a diversified transportation provider in the Canadian province of Quebec, has taken delivery of seven MCI J4500 coaches.
The carrier's new J4500s are equipped with clean-diesel engine technology and feature a mix of Cummins and Detroit Diesel engines, all with Allison transmissions; seating for 56 passengers and a state-of-the-art entertainment system with six 15-inch flat-screen monitors.
La Québécoise will use one of the new J4500 models exclusively for transporting contestants and celebrities appearing on Star Académie, a hit reality-television program based on a singing competition. The company has outfitted that coach with white leather Amaya seating, featuring an elegantly embroidered La Québécoise logo on the headrest.
These are the first J4500 models for the company. La Québécoise operates a fleet of nearly 600 vehicles from 16 locations throughout northern Quebec.
