On  http://www.ttmg.org/nymta-volvo.html the last picture bus 5531 has the new driver's window design.. looks pretty nice. Also for the TA  I work for no one has announced who won the articulated order for the BRT Montgomery county is opening in 2020 but they have updated the BRT website and it's a Novabus Artic    https://www.flashbrt.com/us29/ I was hoping for New Flyer to win the order but anything is better than more Gilligs and I guess nothing is set in stone since there is no formal announcement from either the TA or either manufacturer.

That is just an animated drawing, so the artist probably used some of those buses as inspiration. I would not say that it is a Nova Bus artic definitively at this time, especially as you mentioned, there have been no official sources. :)

Give it time. I will be getting it confirmed again in November.

I felt that it might only be fair to give you a bit of extra time, since our last discussion was around the end of October, and you claimed that the launch would be in November......

 

But yeah, nothing from Nova. And we're two months past the month you claimed. I gotta tell you, I'm not surprised....

Never said the launch was November. I said I would confirm again. But yes I did get it confirmed at CUTA there is a new model coming and no details have been released for obvious reasons. Just sit and wait.

Are there or have there ever been any Volvo parts/components offerings on Novabuses? Similar to how Prevost has access to Volvo components such as D series engines, I shift and Volvo emissions tech.

I wish.

Just the electrical multiplex system.

Are these vents (previously used on the 3rd gens) optional? So far only CTA in Chicago and Calgary Transit has them. 

 

Other than the CTA bus you posted there, those vents are usually equipped on CNG models built 2017 and after. A few agencies that have those buses... HSR, Houston Metro, NFTA, San Antonio VIA.

LFS'

No, that would be plural possessive (The LFS' engines are powered by compressed natural gas.) 

Instead, the engines on our Nova LFSs are powered by compressed natural gas.  

If it weren't an abbreviation, you'd add an -es.

The CNG version would then be called LFS CNG.

An even bigger question would be, why wouldn't Nova build a longer range electric bus like what New Flyer and Proterra are doing?
