Orion V), posted by Edwards! on Sun Mar 22 19:32:05 2015. Nova seems to be having issues getting units out on time. Part of the rationale of the split order was getting units on a more timely basis than a single vendor order. I'm not sure about the "darling" designation though, MTA has bought over 1200 buses from Nova/Prevost in that last few years and the upstate folks who generally don't like us that much, really like it when we spend money that stays in NY. For better or worse, Nova/Prevost have a significantly higher NY content/value because the assembly labor is all here. The BTE Prevosts paved the way for the purchase of 300, and those are built in NY. I really do like the NF's, but I'm in CP/MTABC territory and that means C40-LF around here (except the Q64 which moved to BP and gets OG Hybrids) . |
