Скачать или смотреть BRAND NEW!... MTA Maryland: 2018 New Flyer XD40 (Diesel) 18000-series buses | EXCLUSIVE WALK-AROUND

Shown here are 18003-05 as the first ten arrived at Bush Street division this week

The first seven or so Xcelsiors for MTA has arrived at Bush Street division this past week. The incoming 100 buses (of a 140 bus order contract) will be the last order for New Flyer buses before switching to NOVA come 2020. Between 2020-24, MTA will order 70 NOVA buses over a five-year period that includes standard 40-footers and 60-foot articulated units. As far as anyone know, it'll be specifcally bio-diesel propulsion but could I wouldn't be surprised if an electric demo find it's way somewhere into the contract.

These have a lot of new features different from our previous 17000-series units as displayed in the video but same specs for the most part. One detail is that these buses will use a "Carrier" HVAC unit instead of a ThermoKing. The first of these units could enter revenue service sometime in July.

Proposed fleet numbering: 2018 ► 18001-19000
2019 ► 19001-19039
