Vicinity Motor sells three more clean-diesel buses to Le Group Transbus

Vicinity Motor Corp (CVE:VMC) (OTCQX:BUSXF) (FRA:6LG) said it has received a new purchase order from Québec private transit operator Le Groupe Transbus for its Vicinity Classic buses.  Le Groupe Transbus has ordered three of the company's 30-foot Clean-Diesel Vicinity Classic buses. The Vicinity buses are in service with Canadian public transit agency EXO, serving the city of Varennes, a suburb of Montreal.  Transbus currently owns and operates nine Vicinity Classic buses, and with this order, takes the total to 12 in its fleet.  The deal follows a recent contract award with Calgary Transit, the first significant competitive tender in Canada for mid-size electric buses. The company said its Vicinity Lightning product is already showing to be an early leader in the EV transit market space and is ready for this transition.  READ: Vicinity Motor receives C$6M initial order from Calgary Transit for Vicinity Lightning EV buses "Our Vicinity Classic buses continue to prove their market leadership and flagship status with Canadian transit authorities as we attract recurring orders from our large base of satisfied, long-term customers," William Trainer, founder and CEO of Vicinity Motor said in a statement.
