Motor Coach Industries (MCI) received a 19-coach J4500 order from Dallas-based passenger transportation services provider, MV Transportation.
MV operates shuttle services for some of the most well-known corporations in the world, meeting their employee’s need for convenient, energy-efficient and comfortable commutes to and from their offices. With a need to expand its fleet to support recent growth, MV selected MCI’s best-selling clean diesel J4500 based on its luxurious passenger experience and workhorse reliability.
“We’re finding that door-to-door employee commuter transportation is becoming a more popular employer benefit as major companies continue to expand regionally,” said Jeff Womack, MV Chief Marketing Officer. “The J4500 is a natural choice for its comfortable, smooth ride and passenger amenities that are perfect for longer distance routes.”
Each of the new 2018 model coaches feature 56 seats with best-in-class legroom, Wi-Fi and charging outlets available to every passenger. The MCI J4500 coach is already a familiar sight in many employee shuttle programs running throughout California’s Silicon Valley and throughout the Pacific Northwest – MCI has approximately 800 coaches operating in Northern California alone.
Premiums remain elevated. Underwriting scrutiny is intense. And claims costs continue to rise at historic levels. Behind those numbers lies a complex mix of legal, medical, and cultural forces reshaping the commercial landscape.
The company said it has remained the most widely purchased model in the new coach market across the US and Canada, according to historical data from the Motorcoach Builders Survey conducted by the American Bus Association
A phased approach to technology, in-house capabilities, and workforce investment is helping transportation leaders break the reactive cycle and build more resilient, revenue-focused operations.
The company's flagship H3-45 is also the best-selling 45-foot motorcoach in North America, according to vehicle registration data from S&P Global Mobility (Polk).
