.]] Nova Bus is a Bus manufacturing company based in Saint-Eustache, Quebec , Canada . The company is now owned by Prevost , which is a division of Volvo Buses . Nova Bus was created by a reorganization of the transit bus division of MCI in 1993 , and continued the production of the Classic model (which was started by General Motors Diesel Division Buses in late 1982 ) until MCI bought the transit division in 1987 . The '''RTS''' model, originating from General Motors , was also acquired by NovaBus. They currently produce a single product, the Nova LFS, a Low-floor urban Transit bus, which was introduced in 1995 . The last '''Classic''' model was produced in 1997 . After closing their American assembly plants in Roswell, New Mexico and Niskayuna, New York in 2002 , Nova Bus basically withdrew from the American bus market, instead completely focusing on Canadian transit. PRODUCTS
NovaBus now produces a series of vehicles developed from the Nova LFS.
In 2008 , the option of a hybrid diesel-electric engine will be offered to new customers. These enhancements come out of a want to become more competitive outside of eastern Canada (where few NovaBus products have been sold) and to provide more options for Quebec-based agencies (who, by provincial law, are given only the option of NovaBus for new buses due to their Quebec plant location).
