Houston Metro Awards New Flyer Subsidiary, Nabi Bus, LLC a Contract for 265 Transit Buses

Metro chose NABI’s 40-LFW model, which is a rugged, utilitarian bus with recently restyled front mask and rooftop enclosure based on a proven structure with approximately 4,500 having been manufactured over the past 15 years.  The LFW’s structure is available using either carbon steel or optional stainless steel materials.  Since the LFW was introduced in 1998 approximately 1,600 have been produced using the stainless steel structure which is a popular option for operators in harsh or unusually humid operating environments.

Paul Soubry, President and CEO of New Flyer commented, “This Metro award is a great example of opportunity associated with our recent acquisition of NABI.  With more than 900 buses delivered to Metro by New Flyer since 1996, these NABI stainless steel buses are a fantastic complement to New Flyer’s overall product line.”  Soubry added, “All 265 buses produced for Metro will utilize the stainless steel structure due to Houston’s coastal environment.”

The contract consists of a firm order for 265 new 40-foot buses through 2016.  Delivery of 40 diesel buses will take place in the summer of 2014; then a mixture of 45 diesel buses and 80 CNG buses will be delivered in 2015; with 100 additional CNG buses to be delivered in 2016.

All buses will be manufactured at NABI’s Anniston, AL facility.
