User Posted February 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 13, 2012 Orion International - Home I don't know if anyone has followed their site, but last year, Orion closed their site and posted that their upgrades would be done in January 2012. Now, Orion's site says its closed until March. I wonder if Orion has lost any business without a site. Probably not because most transit agencies like and trust Orion.

Orion just scored a huge order for some agency out west last week, trust me they're not losing an eight of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted February 16, 2012 You think Orion is going to unveil anything big when their new website is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novabus 5000 Posted February 16, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 16, 2012 The website SHOULD be up by the end of march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted February 16, 2012 Share #6 Posted February 16, 2012 which agency also any links for it? Sorry about that I meant down south, they just scored a huge order for Charm City Circulator. That's all I know. Plus they also scored NYCTA's bid for more CNG buses and NICE bus.

Sorry about that I meant down south, they just scored a huge order for Charm City Circulator. That's all I know. Plus they also scored NYCTA's bid for more CNG buses and NICE bus. Baltimore's 2012 order was less than 15 buses. Nothing big at all. If I recall correctly they may have already started production on them so it is not a new order at all. The MTA and NICE orders have been known about for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted February 16, 2012 Share #10 Posted February 16, 2012 This is odd... For the longest time I would go to website and it would be like it is now, but with a crane and say that the new website was coming Nov. 2011. Being curious I checked a few times in November, nothing. I checked a few days ago or last week and there was a full website in place. I just checked after your post, and nothing, saying the site will be up in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted March 2, 2012 Share #13 Posted March 2, 2012 Orion's website is basically complete. Hopefully it will be up and running in short order. I had the honor and privilege of viewing the new platform and styling, and I think it looks great!:cool: Can't wait to see it go public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share #14 Posted April 2, 2012 Looks like the site opening has been postponed again, this time to somewhere in April. They must still be working on the site comsiderimg they're months behind the original planned release date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted April 3, 2012 Share #15 Posted April 3, 2012 I've seen the new site already, so I don't really understand why it's taking this long to get it up and running. They only had a few updated that needed to be completed from what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted April 26, 2012 Share #18 Posted April 26, 2012 Well, I guess the new Orion site will never see the light of day now. It's a shame too because the new layout was really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneRegional Posted April 26, 2012 Share #19 Posted April 26, 2012 I guess I can't see it either now as Orion is now on the chopping block in Daimler's boardroom. @ENY: Do you still have a screenshot or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted April 28, 2012 Share #20 Posted April 28, 2012 I'm going to see if I can get permission to post the link of the website, which is still active. I should be talking to some Daimler guys on Monday. It would be a shame for all that hard work to go the waste! It was basically complete. They should at least put it up for the rest of the year!

DaimlerBuses Posted November 20, 2013 Share #23 Posted November 20, 2013 It looks like Orion's website has been updated with a new photo on the front page and the contact info for New Flyer for parts and service: http://orionbus.com/ This is using the same template the new (but never publicly launched) Orion website was using. As for the poster, someone missed a memo or two. However, it's important to note that DBNA still exists on paper (and still have employees on behalf of them, as well as property they still own) to comply with various federal regulations in the US and Canada. Just had a look on New Flyer's website, surprised they do not mention Orion parts distribution at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
