"We are thrilled and very proud to partner with both VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio and the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, two of the nation's leaders in public transportation," President of Nova Bus Raymond Leduc said. "This is another milestone in our history of partnership for excellence in public transportation in Texas using vehicles that will help these progressive cities meet their sustainability objectives. Nova Bus is proud of its leadership position in green transportation solutions."

425 40-foot CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) buses to hit the road in San Antonio
The Nova Bus CNG buses are the greenest ever. They feature a complete suite of technological systems including GPS, passenger counter, camera system, and public information video screens. The Nova Bus CNG vehicles define a new generation of natural gas-powered buses with substantial fuel savings. Delivery will begin at the end of November 2016 and will support VIA's ongoing all-CNG fleet conversion. In 2016, VIA became the only public transit agency in the Southwestern United States to earn certification from the International Standards Organization (ISO) for its proactive efforts to provide sustainable service through its Environmental and Sustainability Management System (ESMS).

100 additional buses ordered in Houston and delivery has already begun
This important contract consolidates a partnership that started in 2014, when METRO purchased 70 articulated buses from Nova Bus. The buses will be part of a special replacement and expansion project, as the city is conducting new routes, with a need for 40-foot and artic buses. METRO runs about 1,200 heavy-duty buses. Once implemented, the fleet of 170 Nova buses will contribute greatly to meeting Houston's rapidly-growing public transit needs. Based on the project fast-track development, vehicles delivery in the Houston market has recently begun.
