INIT has worked closely with York Region Transit to develop, test and roll out the MOBILE-ECO2 driver support system.
The displays will be installed on 88 buses in YRT’s existing fleet, and on more than 80 new buses to be added over the next three years.
Will purchase six electric-powered heavy-duty transit buses from New Flyer Industries and Nova Bus, with overhead-charging stations being designed and manufactured by Siemens and ABB Group.
Will deliver the 40-foot heavy duty buses to Richmond Hill, Ontario-based York Region Transit by the end of the third quarter of 2014.
About 214 workers were due to walk out on Tuesday morning in YRT's southwest division after talks between Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 and Veolia Transportation Services Canada broke down.
The articulated bus features include a modular ceiling panel — which diffuses indirect lighting — work tables in the rear, sconces, space saving back rests, redesigned driver partition, and floor-to-ceiling vertical stanchions.
Since launching production of the LFS Artic, Nova Bus has been awarded contracts for rapid-transit type buses in cities such as New York, Halifax, Quebec, Montreal and Saskatoon.
