Most manufacturers only go crazy like that if the order is 500 units or better. We've only secured 135 definite buses and who's to say if we take some, all or none of the 340 option buses. New Flyer would be taking a serious chance doing such a thing for free, I'm sure you know that cost are definitely involved to re-tool a production line for something that its not producing at the current time.Knowing New Flyer's shaky financial history, why take that risk without charging the necessary cost to the contract? From a business standpoint, it would be a poor poor decision on their part. |
