The Environmental Performance Vehicles ECOCoach is a three-axle commuter coach available in the United States. It was developed for New Jersey Transit after DesignLine International was awarded a contract for 76 CNG "cruiser buses" in 2011. DesignLine later went into bankruptcy and the contract was terminated after 15 buses were delivered, however the company re-emerged as EPV in 2014.
The ECOCoach has a stainless steel chassis and a body constructed from aluminium extrusions. The coach is available with traditional diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) drivetrains. The radiator and intercooler are placed above the engine, something New Jersey Transit has specified.
