The first prototype was built using the front section of a first generation LFS and the rear portion of a second generation [[Chicago Transit Authority]] LFS demonstration unit. A second, more refined prototype was built in 2005 and operated in service with the [[Réseau de transport de la Capitale]] (RTC) as well as the [[Réseau de transport de Longueuil]] (RTL) in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Both prototypes had the same offside engine placement as the 40 foot LFS. The next prototype was built with the newly developed third generation rear. This design places the engine at the center of the rear rather than offset.

In 2010, [[Connecticut Transit]] placed an order for a batch of hybrid LFS Artic buses, the first of this model configuration. Currently, Nova has not designated the hybrid LFS Artic as its own model like they did with the 40 foot [[Nova Bus LFS HEV]]. Connecticut received their first bus in late 2011. The [[Société de transport de l'Outaouais]] (STO) became the first Canadian operator to purchase the LFS Artic HEV after receiving a pilot bus at the beginning of 2016. The [[RTC]] also received the same hybrid articulated model later in the year.
