2044 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 35 minutes ago, 981 said: I have a theory that could explain that Volvo bus Nova is exiting the US market in 2025. That Volvo may be to fill in the gap that Nova's gonna leave when they depart the US market. Volvo already sells a coach in the US, the 9700 It's likely Canada won't get that Volvo bus as it would cannibalize on the sales of the LFS which is set to become Canada-exclusive That doesn’t really make sense when you consider Nova Bus’s stated reason for leaving the US market is financial. If Volvo was losing money with the established LFS, why would they take a risk on a totally new product. Also it doesn’t really make much sense for Volvo to be selling a different product in the US than in Canada. No other manufacturer is doing this.

Could be used to model the 5th gen. it seems like it is based on the facelifted 7900 but it with some notable changes like the bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Dealership Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Do we have any idea what it looks like beside that it looks like a facelift Volvo 7900 with the na spec bumpers? Did they change the lights. How many other american spec feature does it have other than the na spec bumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted August 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 RTL 42201 (LFSe) was parked in front of Nova St-Eustache on Friday surrounded by many, many units for TTC. No numbers, sorry guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No numbers, sorry guys. I guess the RTL 42201 is an LFSe+ with a longer driving range instead of an LFSe with a shorter driving range? Why does the fleet number start with “4” instead of the usual “2”? and what does “No numbers” in your post mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I drove through the parking lot quickly, I did not want to be stopped by security. I do not know the differences between LFSe and e+ based on sight, once they get on property, I'll be in position to see the builder's sticker and VINs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newflyerinvero Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Has anyone noticed seeing, several months ago while Burlington Transit's 2023 LFSs were being built and prepared for delievery that if there were 8 units instead of 5? I have noted thus far that there are 5 in revenue service. There are supposed to be 8. Anyone spotted the other 3 recently? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Dealership Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 it might be a stretch, but this year is the 30th birthday of Novabus. My guess is that they're going to reveal the 5th gen, Volvo 9700-based LFS either this year or next one to celebrate the 30th anniversary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But their definitely due for something new. A lot of redesigns on the coach side. So hopefully we see something on the transit side as well. I hope your stretch comes out to be true.

Frozen Yogurt Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Passed by Nova over the weekend while in the region. As usual a ton of TTC and Viva at the back of the Industriel facility. At the front: RTL 224xx (highest I saw was 22415); 422xx (saw 42201, 02, 05, and probably more); some Translink (no numbers); someone's 2271 (framed transoms, no idea whose); STS Sherbrooke 74101; some HSR, and all the demos. The camouflaged Volvo has moved to the Industriel side amongst the demos as well. At the back of the Condor facility: a ton of LFSA HEV (presumably RTC's) and even more Viva. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTL66 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Nova Bus was overflowing with lots of white units, a couple of TTC, STO, Translink and Sherbrooke units mixed in there as well. They have so many, they are renting space in a lot across the street to store completed buses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerD901 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Nova still have that Volvo bus at their plant. I guess with the US plant shutting down, it makes sense why there overflowing at the Quebec facility. I guess this must be the adjustment period. I know they're were building TTC buses at the US plant a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
