History

These buses feature Cummins ISL-9 engines, displacing 8.9L and rated at 330HP, and Allison H50EP hybrid drive system. These buses are not equipped with lavatories and seat 57.

MCI was the only bidder for these buses. NJT determined that MCI's offer was "price excessive", so the transit agency was able to negotiate a better price for the buses. The total bid price for the 37 buses was $33,554,341.88. The board approved the purchase on October 8, 2014, with the buses being delivered during the summer of 2015.

NJT also had an option for ten additional hybrid buses that would have been lavatory equipped, but the option was not exercised. The price of the ten additional buses would have been $8,615,950.

The buses were initially assigned to Egg Harbor Garage but were moved to Ironbound Garage with the arrival of new 2018 diesel cruisers. Due to reliability issues, the buses were relegated to a backup role when Ironbound's 28-bus portion of the 2021 cruiser order went into service.
