History

The first pilot buses for this order were planned to be delivered in May 2020, but due to coronavirus, delivery and entrance in service was delayed by several months. 0022 was delivered to Prevost/Nova Bus' facility in Secaucus, NJ in late August 2020. The first pilot 0022/9620 entered service on October 5th, 2020 on the M100 out of Kingsbridge Depot and it stayed in service there until early January 2021. It was soon joined by 9622 and both periodically ran out of Kingsbridge Depot until February 2021 when the demo period concluded and both buses returned to Nova Bus. The first production buses started being delivered to the various Prevost/Nova Bus vendor facilities in the NYC region (NEBR in Ronkonkoma, LI and the Prevost/Nova facility in Secaucus, NJ) in March 2021. The first production buses delivered went to Manhattanville Depot on March 30-31, 2021 (Buses #9624-9625). The second depot to receive buses from this order was the Tuskegee Airmen Depot, receiving #9626, 9628, 9637 in early April 2021. The third depot to receive production buses was Kingsbridge Depot in mid April 2021 (#9653, 9664). The first day of service was on April 29th, 2021 with 9648 operating on the M100 and 9652 on the Bx7 making service in the morning rush hour. All Nova LFS HEV buses were briefly removed from service from October 2021-November 2021 due to issues with the plug-style rear doors. 9638 was the last bus in this series to enter service, doing so on the M31 out of Tuskegee Airmen Depot in early 2023.

Original garage assignments are not feasibly available for this fleet, due to the drawn-out, nearly 2 year long delivery/entrance-in-service process and the fact that many units were shuffled between depots during the delivery process. As such, the original allocation lists for each garage would list all of the bus fleet numbers that started out of each garage, but not all of those listed buses would have ran out of the garage at the same time.
