East New York Posted September 9, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2011 Prevost’s Ultimate Commuter Coach Hits the Market Prevost introduces the X3-45 Commuter Coach, designed from the Prevost platform known for durability, reliability, and lifetime value. The X3-45 coaches are constructed to be used in a demanding commuter application which requires reliable vehicle performance, and the coach has been 12-Year Structural Integrity Tested. Developed with a focus on transit operation concerns such as passenger safety, accessibility, low operation costs and ease of maintenance, the X3-45 Commuter features the most reliable structure in the industry which creates a smooth, comfortable ride along with excellent driving stability. Keeping passengers safe is a priority and Prevost has packed the X3-45 Commuter Coach with many options that are designed to make these coaches the safest on the road. The Prevost Electronic Stability Program is the first system with rollover and under/over-steer protection and electronically compensates for quick reactions in adverse conditions. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System has an integrated dashboard display with real time information that helps the driver monitor tire temperature and pressure and also helps to detect inner drive tire failures. In addition, the Prevost Fire Suppression System uses a linear thermal detector and an optical infrared to monitor the engine compartment and auxiliary heater and provides audible and visual warnings to the driver in case of an incident. With a unique vertical installation of the SCR and DPF systems, the X3-45 Commuter produces less heat in the engine compartment and reduces exhaust peak temperature at the rear of the coach. Of course, every Prevost X3-45 includes three-point seat belts on a 20G rated welded rail system for an exceptionally secure passenger environment. The Prevost Difference is evident in every vehicle we build, and speaks to more than eight decades of industry leadership, and to our uncompromising passion for excellence. http://www.prevostcar.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLT89T759uE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted December 4, 2011 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2011 Don't like the idea of that stability ish. I don't want be in a situation where I don't know who's in control; me or the computer. We are relying on computers way too much. Maybe good for some, but not for me. Just another thing to raise the price on these high priced buses. :tdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another thing to raise the price on these high priced buses. :tdown: Stability control has been standard on most all cars and trucks for some time now. It's a safety feature that prevents roll overs. The Op is still in total control of the bus. Why should a standard safety feature that saves lives be excluded from buses? It's Omg overdue if you ask me. Volvo is known worldwide for safety. Compared to the MCI and Van Hool coaches, the Prevost packs a whole lot of bang for your buck. No surprise Obama's new super decked-out bus is an X3-45. That says a hell of a lot right there. MCI is still the Queen of the road, but the Prevost just might be the King now! I've been on 2011 series buses from both companies. The Greyhound buses I was on were spec'd the exact same with the exception of the engines. They are neck to neck right now if you as me. One of the reasons I took this bus trip was to ride both the bus models long distance. I did about 6 hours on the D4500CT, and 4.5 hours on the X3-45. I really like both of them, but the Prevost stood out a bit for some reason. Either that or the fact that I have only been on about 7 different Prevost buses and about 700 MCI's in my lifetime.

Novasupporter Posted March 17, 2013 Share #10 Posted March 17, 2013 Prevost Joins Family of Official NASCAR® Partners March 12, 2013 Company signs multi-year deal to become the Official Luxury Motorcoach of NASCAR Sainte-Claire, QC (March 11th, 2013) — Prevost and NASCAR announced today a new multi-year partnership that designates the Sainte-Claire, Quebec-based company, the leading manufacturer of premium touring and conversion coaches, as the Official Luxury Motorcoach of NASCAR. In doing so, Prevost reinforces its nearly 30-year association with the #1 spectator sport in the United States, and increases its visibility with an influential and vibrant cross-section of American business. “This partnership between Prevost and NASCAR is a natural fit for two thriving brands that share an unrelenting commitment to innovation,” said Gaetan Bolduc, Prevost President and CEO. “Prevost motorcoaches are fixtures at NASCAR events, populating driver, team owner, and NASCAR officials’ parking lots. Prevost hospitality, executive, and technical support coaches serve as mobile work stations for manufacturers and sponsors.” With 38 race weekends and an average race-day attendance of more than 100,000 fans at NASCAR Sprint Cup events, many thousands of fans experience NASCAR via tour and charter bus groups annually. “Many Prevost operators gain valuable business from the transportation needs of racing events. Prevost passenger coaches, the industry’s premium seated coaches, transport great numbers of fans to NASCAR races each weekend.” said Robert Goodnight, Prevost Vice-President of New Coach Sales. Prevost’s involvement with NASCAR began in the 1980s as Featherlite Coaches and Marathon Coach led the way in providing trackside offices and living quarters for competitors, sponsors, suppliers and families who made the racetrack their home throughout the race season. Able to easily withstand the rigorous demands of a 10-month long NASCAR season, Prevost and its converter partners produce the highest quality custom motorcoaches with the deluxe amenities of a five-star hotel. Each race weekend, whether as a motorhome or as an executive coach, Prevost motorcoaches play an integral role in the transportation and staging of high-quality NASCAR events across the country. “Prevost’s state-of-the-art motorcoaches provide a home-away-from-home for our drivers, team owners, partners, and fans throughout the course of our demanding season,” said NASCAR Chief Sales Officer Jim O’Connell. “Our three national series provide a grand stage for Prevost to showcase its luxury motorcoaches to a substantial number of brands and consumers at the track who may consider purchasing or leasing a product or vehicle.” NASCAR will utilize Prevost’s state-of-the-art luxury motorcoaches this year for at-track hospitality through the NASCAR Fuel for Hospitality® program. The NASCAR Fuel for Hospitality program was specifically designed for Official NASCAR Partners to provide employees and customers with a VIP race-day experience at the track. In addition, Prevost will also be joining the NASCAR Fuel for Business Council® to buy and sell directly with top Fortune 500 companies. “It’s a great honor to continue serving the NASCAR community as a preferred motorcoach of NASCAR officials, team owners, drivers, manufacturers, and sponsors,” said Steve Zeigler, Prevost Director of Conversion Coach Business Development. “Prevost and our converter partners are proud to have NASCAR’s stamp of approval. And through this exclusive partnership, it will be our pleasure to continue showcasing our best-in-class coaches in such an iconic and American sports environment.” Prevost’s parent company is The Volvo Group and its U.S.-based office is located in Greensboro, North Carolina. https://www.prevostcar.com/news/prevost-joins-family-official-nascar%C2%AE-partners Prevost opens new Service Center in Houston February 25, 2013 Sainte-Claire, QC, February 25, 2013 – Prevost has opened a new Service Center in Houston, Texas.

Lothian Posted March 17, 2013 Share #11 Posted March 17, 2013 A second service centre in Texas? Business must be good in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted March 17, 2013 Share #12 Posted March 17, 2013 A second service centre in Texas? Business must be good in the area. Well now that you mention it, Houston Metro is receiving some Nova's. Still though, most business is in personal use coaches rather than transit coaches. Having had some experience with their center in Jurupa Valley (Mira Loma), rarely do transit coaches get serviced there, though likely that is to blame on the lack of Nova's in service on the West Coast.
