The powertrain for Golden Empire Transit unit 0600 (2006 Orion VII CNG) is said to have a John Deere 6081H and ZF Ecomat 2 6HP592C, even though the GET article lists this bus with a Cummins Westport C Gas Plus and Allison transmission. 1VHGH3L2666702288 The engine code "L" is confusing; it is listed as a John Deere 6081H engine, but also the Cummins Westport C Gas Plus engine from 2006-2008! The 8.3L C Gas Plus used to have the engine code "T" up until 2005, and in 2006, its engine code was changed to "L", at the time when that engine met EPA 2007 standards.

Does anybody have a listing of VIN's for OC Transpo's 5001-5177 series?? Andre

I figured now would be a good time to create this thread, since it's becoming an issue of interest in the old Orion V retirements thread. This thread can be used to post updates about the current issues that face this fleet (including, but not limited to: Possible Early Retirement, Potential Rebuilding, etc...) Post Away!

Need some help here - anybody have VIN's for OC Transpo and Houston Metro Orion 7's?? Andre
