History
These are the first in the fleet to feature the BAE HybriDrive HDS200 hybrid system.
They are also the first Nova Bus units delivered with the Charcoal livery, pre-installed driver barriers, frameless windows, and air conditioning. In addition, the front turn indicators no longer function as parking lights in "night run" mode. This is also the final batch of buses to feature the grey top, as all subsequent deliveries after this batch feature a revised livery with a blue top.
Compared to the older Nova Bus units in the fleet, the seating arrangement in the rear has been modified to have perimeter seating and forward-facing seats instead of pairing up two pairs of seats to face each other resulting in some backward-facing seats. The front forward-facing flip seats feature the GrabHold safety feature designed by 4ONE in place of a stanchion or partition.
In May 2020, these units became the first conventional units to receive the new cash fare system that debuted in Community Shuttles the prior year. The new system abandons electronic transfers in favour of a traditional type while manual fareboxes, manufactured by TAG, are used exclusively to collect payment.
Units 18302 and 18303 were fitted with blind-spot detection systems in 2020 as part of a trial.
Deployment
This series is based out of Vancouver Transit Centre, Hamilton Transit Centre, and Surrey Transit Centre, with the majority being based out of Vancouver. They can be found on any Hamilton and Surrey conventional routes and Vancouver diesel conventional routes. From time to time depending on operational requirements, Vancouver units may also appear on trolleybus routes.
Before June 2024, this entire series was based out of Vancouver and some units were occasionally loaned to Hamilton during fleet shortages due to maintenance backlogs. An almost one-for-one trade for various 2009 Nova Bus LFS HEV units and units 18363–18379 from this series occurred. This trade was done due to the decommissioning of various New Flyer D40LF coaches that were designated for training use. With the 2018 Nova Bus LFS HEV being the primary 40-foot coaches in Vancouver, they are not ideal for training purposes as they are fitted with a panel at the front to reduce glare from the windshield that would also obstruct the training instructor's view of the curbside mirror.
In early 2025, units 18368 and 18378, alongside 24117 and 24145 were loaned to Surrey for demonstration and training purposes, as NovaBus units are planned to begin operating out of Surrey. Due to Surrey having never historically operated NovaBus units, these four buses were loaned to Surrey to operators to become familiar with NovaBus units.
