History
Order
This batch is an option for 80 hybrid buses exercised in late 2008 from the contract for 1700-1829. It was recommended in August 2008 to order an additional 40 buses.[1] This was ultimately approved and 120 NG HEVs were to be delivered for 2010. Later that year, the order was changed to a diesel order after the TTC's experience with hybrids left them unsatisfied. The TTC had experienced many lead acid battery failures and a drop in reliability of the hybrid system.[2]
Features and Modifications
8100-8219 are largely identical to the previous batch of Next Generation hybrids. Differences from that batch include the obvious lack of hybrid system and use of a conventional transmission with the engine, the larger engine, a larger exhaust stack, and new door design. The doors are of the design used on the 2010-model Orion VII Next Generation, but the rear door remains as tall as the passenger windows. 8100 and 8101 are the only two buses in this series with the older style doors. All buses in this series were delivered with bike racks, automated announcements, CCTV cameras and driver barriers. They are also the first conventional buses in the TTC with 6 speed transmission.
This series started getting the new Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) Vehicle Information System and Integrated Operations Network (VISION) system installed in September 2018. The entire series was equipped with VISION by November 2018.
Deliveries History
All 120 buses (8100-8219) were delivered to Wilson division. They were able to retire some of the 2200, 2300, 2400, 2700 and 2800 series GM New Looks and the remaining 6600 and 6700 series Orion V buses.
Movement History
8102 and 8103 were transferred to Birchmount in December 2010. With the 8300-8334 units delivered in 2011, 8100, 8101, 8104-8123 were moved to Birchmount followed by 8124-8157 in 2012 when the 8335-8396 units were delivered. Between 2013-2015, a bulk of the 8100s that were at Wilson moved to Birchmount when the 77/78xxs were being rebuilt. In 2018, when the 8300s were being rebuilt, several units from Birchmount moved to Wilson. The rest of this series that were at Birchmount transferred to Wilson by October 2018 to have the new VISION system installed on them. From May 2023 to March 2024, the remaining units at Wilson were transferred to Queensway to replace the retiring 7900 and 8000 series Orions.

Retirement
The first unit of the series to retire was 8208 in October 2022 due to a collision.
The TTC originally planned for these buses to have an 18-year lifespan, however, they began to phase out the fleet in March 2024 as the TTC began to order 340 eBuses built by New Flyer and Nova Bus to replace the series.
