TTC will be ordering up to 153 LFS artics over 3 years!

 

Booo! I was hoping for NFI. I'm so jeolous of the XD60 MTA has, I want that up here!

 

 

 

New Flyer could still get the 40ft for TTC as contract hasnt been released yet on who got it!

This model is a must have! I love the detail, and the turning front wheels. One of mine will remain in Nova livery, and the other will be MTA #8090. I definitely want you to tell me how it looks when I am done!

Nova Bus partners with Cummins to field test 2013 engines

 

Nova Bus is leading the way by field testing model year 2013 Cummins engines in collaboration with one of the largest transit systems in North America.

In addition to meeting EPA 2013 requirements, these Cummins engines meet the 2014 Fuel Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Regulations in 2013, a full year early. The first vehicle tested is a clean-diesel LFS Artic. Nova Bus took part in the installation and integration of all adapted elements and components into the vehicle and confirmed functionality with suppliers, thus qualifying the LFS Artic for official field testing. Over the past few months, Nova Bus has also been conducting field tests on a 40-foot diesel-fueled Nova LFS with a model year 2013 Cummins ISL9 engine.

Cummins model year 2013 engines will see both performance and fuel economy improvements for customers. The proven base components including the industry-leading XPI fuel system and VGT™ Turbocharger work in unison with the Cummins Aftertreatment System (featuring SCR technology) to provide customers with the power, torque and throttle response they demand. Also, the model year 2013 Cummins ISL9 will see a 1% fuel economy improvement when compared with the industry-leading fuel economy of today’s current product ISL9.

The 2013 EPA regulations call for the addition of On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) for transit buses. On-Board Diagnostics are designed to monitor the performance of vehicles’ emission systems to help detect issues, recognize faults and ensure optimal performance. Nova Bus already offers cost-efficient buses and solutions that enable transit authorities to reduce energy consumption, maintenance costs and harmful environmental emissions. Nova Bus is intent on integrating EPA 2013 requirements to the performance and productivity customers have come to expect from the Nova LFS.

Nowhere in the press release does it say that the buses are MTA buses.

 

 

Correct, though I don't see which other major TA they might be referring to. Montreal?
