==History==
==History==
Nova Bus was created when [[Motor Coach Industries]] (MCI) withdrew from the transit market in 1993. Production of the [[Classic]] model, which MCI inheritted from [[General Motors Diesel Division]] (GMDD) with the purchase of their transit division in 1987, continued at Saint-Eustache, Quebec. The [[Rapid Transit Series|RTS]] model, inheritted by [[Transportation Manufacturing Corporation]] (TMC) through MCI's purchase of GMDD's transit division, was also continued.

Nova Bus produced the last Classic in 1997, and the last RTS in 2003. Due to poor sales, Nova Bus withdrew from the United States market and closed the Roswell, New Mexico and Schenectady, New York plant in 2002.
In 1979, [[General Motors]] (GM) began production of their [[New Look]] transit bus in St-Eustache, Quebec after they were awarded a 1200-unit order for the province's transit agencies.<ref>Ross, Nancy L.

When GM decided to exit the transit bus market, [[Motor Coach Industries]] purchased their transit bus division in 1987 and continued production of the Classic in St-Eustache. By the early 1990s, Dial, which owned MCI, intended to sell their transportation manufacturing and service divisions.

On February 2, 2008, Nova Bus announced plans for the construction of a new assembly plant in Plattsburgh, New York.<ref>[http://www.pressrepublican.com/homepage/local_story_033054524.html Bus-assembly plant proposed for Plattsburgh], pressrepublican.com, retrieved on 2009-08-03</ref> This marked Nova Bus's return to the US market.

Nova Bus was formed in 1993 by individuals from Nova Quintech and the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec to acquire MCI's St-Eustache facility and continue producing buses. Nova Quintech was formed two years earlier after a group of investors purchased the assets of the bankrupt fire truck manufacturer Camions Pierre Thibault Inc. The Government of Quebec agreed to contribute a $2.5-million, interest-free loan, and $10 million in loan guarantees. In addition, they agreed to purchase over 300 buses between 1993 and 1994.<ref name=gouv/> The sale of the MCI's St-Eustache operations occurred on July 6, 1993.<ref>"Bus Maker Wins Order, Rehires: FINAL Edition."

MCI, including [[Transportation Manufacturing Corporation]] (TMC), was spun-off from Dial in 1993, and in 1994, merged with [[DINA SA]]. Not long after, DINA sold TMC's assets to Nova Bus in October 1994. Nova acquired the Roswell, New Mexico and Schenectady, New York facilities.<ref>SAUNDERS, JOHN.

Electro Mobility is a system of electric transit solutions designed to increase efficiency and decrease environmental impact. Nova debuted their Electro Mobility concept at the 2011 APTA EXPO in New Orleans. The system includes electric accessories and different electric propulsion options such as fully electric, plug-in hybrid electric, electro-magnetic induction, and electric trolleybus.
Early on, Nova Bus began development of a low floor transit bus. A Den Oudsten Bussen Alliance City bus was imported to Quebec for evaluation. In a transfer of technology, Nova Bus used the Alliance as a basis for their [[Nova Bus LFS|LFS]] (Low Floor Series/System).<ref name=gouv/> At the annual meeting of the American Public Transportation Association in 1994, Nova formally unveiled the LFS. The bus stood out in North America with its sloping front, large single-piece windshield, and round headlights. Production began in 1996, with the first buses going to the [[Société de transport de la communauté urbaine de Montréal]]. 
 
At the end of 1997, [[Volvo]] announced that its subsidiary [[Prevost Car]] would purchase Nova Bus. At the time, Prevost was 51 percent owned by Volvo and 49 percent owned by Henleys Group. Both Prevost and Nova became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Volvo in 2004.
 
With a growing trend toward low floor buses, Nova Bus ended production of the Classic in 1997. Citing the same reason, Nova's parent companies announced the end of production of the RTS and the closing of the Roswell facility in 2002. The facility in Schenectady was also closed at the end of the year. Two former Volvo employees formed [[Millennium Transit Services]] to revive production at the Roswell facility.<ref>Winthrop Quigley Journal Staff Writer.

By March 2020 COVID-19 had spread further into Canada and the United States. As part of a number of measures taken by the Quebec Government, all non-essential businesses in Quebec were closed as of March 24, 2020. The majority of Nova Bus's operations at their St-Eustache and St-François-du-Lac facilities were suspended.

More electric accessories became available such as electric power steering and HVAC. Other features were later promoted under the SMART BUS moniker. These included the new interior design, a new rear design incorporating a 2013 Cummins engine, HePEX tubing, and thermoplastic skirt panels (which have been offered since the introduction of the LFS). Nova's parent [[Volvo]] has used the HePEX tubing system (crosslinked polyethylene tubing) for a number of years in their buses.

Nova Bus is a bus manufacturer based in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volvo Buses.

History

The original logo used by Nova Bus until 2002. Many Nova vehicles built through 2002 still carry this logo. Note: Exact font used may differ from the actual font.

In 1979, General Motors (GM) began production of their New Look transit bus in St-Eustache, Quebec after they were awarded a 1200-unit order for the province's transit agencies.[1] GM introduced the Classic in 1982 as the successor to the New Look, which continued to be produced alongside the Classic for four more years. When GM decided to exit the transit bus market, Motor Coach Industries purchased their transit bus division in 1987 and continued production of the Classic in St-Eustache. By the early 1990s, Dial, which owned MCI, intended to sell their transportation manufacturing and service divisions. The St-Eustache facility was faced with closure.[2]

Nova Bus was formed in 1993 by individuals from Nova Quintech and the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec to acquire MCI's St-Eustache facility and continue producing buses. Nova Quintech was formed two years earlier after a group of investors purchased the assets of the bankrupt fire truck manufacturer Camions Pierre Thibault Inc. The Government of Quebec agreed to contribute a $2.5-million, interest-free loan, and $10 million in loan guarantees. In addition, they agreed to purchase over 300 buses between 1993 and 1994.[2] The sale of the MCI's St-Eustache operations occurred on July 6, 1993.[3]

MCI, including Transportation Manufacturing Corporation (TMC), was spun-off from Dial in 1993, and in 1994, merged with DINA SA. Not long after, DINA sold TMC's assets to Nova Bus in October 1994. Nova acquired the Roswell, New Mexico and Schenectady, New York facilities.[4] They continued to produce the popular RTS transit bus, and completed final assembly of the Classic to meet Buy America requirements.

Early on, Nova Bus began development of a low floor transit bus. A Den Oudsten Bussen Alliance City bus was imported to Quebec for evaluation. In a transfer of technology, Nova Bus used the Alliance as a basis for their LFS (Low Floor Series/System).[2] At the annual meeting of the American Public Transportation Association in 1994, Nova formally unveiled the LFS. The bus stood out in North America with its sloping front, large single-piece windshield, and round headlights. Production began in 1996, with the first buses going to the Société de transport de la communauté urbaine de Montréal.

At the end of 1997, Volvo announced that its subsidiary Prevost Car would purchase Nova Bus. At the time, Prevost was 51 percent owned by Volvo and 49 percent owned by Henleys Group. Both Prevost and Nova became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Volvo in 2004.

With a growing trend toward low floor buses, Nova Bus ended production of the Classic in 1997. Citing the same reason, Nova's parent companies announced the end of production of the RTS and the closing of the Roswell facility in 2002. The facility in Schenectady was also closed at the end of the year. Two former Volvo employees formed Millennium Transit Services to revive production at the Roswell facility.[5] They acquired the factory as well as the RTS design and began producing buses in 2005.

On February 2, 2008, Nova Bus announced plans for the construction of a new assembly plant in Plattsburgh, New York.[6] It would be relatively close to the Canadian boarder and in the state with America's largest transit agency. The plant was officially opened on June 15, 2009, marking Nova Bus's return to the American market.[7] The facility was expanded in 2014 to include a production line for Prevost coaches after they were awarded a contract for 300 X3-45 commuter coaches by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.[8]

By March 2020 COVID-19 had spread further into Canada and the United States. As part of a number of measures taken by the Quebec Government, all non-essential businesses in Quebec were closed as of March 24, 2020. The majority of Nova Bus's operations at their St-Eustache and St-François-du-Lac facilities were suspended. The day before, Nova Bus had to suspend operations at their Plattsburgh facility as part of measures taken by the State of New York.[9][10] By the end of May 2020, Nova Bus was able to gradually reopen their manufacturing facilities in Quebec. This was followed by their facility in Plattsburgh early in June 2020.

Nova Bus introduced a number of items to ensure safety on board their buses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their Econo Barrier provides a quick, temporary bio shield for bus operators. Nova Bus also offers COVID-19 related information decals, restricted seat/area barriers, and social/physical distancing decals.[11]
