Halifax Transit in Nova Scotia, Canada, has awarded Nova Bus a contract for 18 articulated buses to renew its high-capacity fleet and accommodate demand on its busiest routes.
The Nova LFS Artic vehicles will gradually replace Halifax Transit’s first-generation articulated buses. The order forms part of the transit operator’s ongoing fleet modernisation programme.
Since 2010. Nova Bus has delivered more than 320 buses to Halifax Transit, including diesel and articulated models, as well as 60 fully electric Nova LFSe+ buses.
Paul Le Houillier, President of Nova Bus said:Halifax Transit is a valued partner with whom we have built a relationship founded on trust and close collaboration for more than 15 years. This new order demonstrates the strength of our commitment to the Halifax Transit Authority and our ability to meet its high-capacity transportation needs throughout the life cycle of these new buses.
The articulated LFS Artic is based on the structure of the standard Nova LFS. It is designed to meet the operational requirements of Halifax Transit and the climate conditions of Atlantic Canada.
Robin Gerus, Executive Director of Halifax Transit said:Nova Bus has been an important partner in Halifax Transit's success. We appreciate their continued support and look forward to working together to provide safe, reliable, and sustainable transit service for our community.
