Prevost Marks a Historic Milestone with 1000th Motorcoach for NYC in 2026

Prevost Celebrates 1000th Coach Delivery to New York City

In a significant achievement, Prevost, a proud member of the Volvo Group, is thrilled to announce that in 2026, the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will receive its 1000th Prevost motorcoach. This notable milestone underscores the steadfast trust and collaboration between North America’s largest public transportation entity and the leading motorcoach manufacturer, Prevost.

François Tremblay, President of Prevost and Volvo Group Canada, expressed his pride in this accomplishment, stating, "This is a historic milestone for us. Just imagine! 1000 Prevost coaches on the road every day, serving the citizens of New York City and its suburbs. Over time, we have developed a genuine relationship of trust with the MTA, and we are very proud of that."

The delivery of the 1000th coach symbolizes not just quantity but a commitment to providing reliable and quality transportation options for New Yorkers and their surrounding communities. As Anna Westerberg, President of Volvo Buses, aptly noted, "Sustainability is central to how we develop our vehicles and support operators in reducing emissions across their fleets."

Modern, dependable, and secure, these buses play a critical role in delivering services to over one million daily bus riders in the city. Demetrius Crichlow, MTA NYC Transit President, echoed this sentiment, highlighting, "We look forward to enhancing our fleet with high-quality buses ensuring safe and efficient service for the New Yorkers who rely on our bus network to get them where they need to go."

In acknowledging the broader economic implications of this relationship, the Honorable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, remarked, "Through cross-border partnerships, integrated supply chains, and world-class manufacturing, companies like Prevost create good jobs and drive growth on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Our economies thrive when we work together."

Moreover, Quebec government ministers also weighed in, praising Prevost’s successes as reflective of Quebec’s engineering prowess and strong economic ties with the United States. M. Christopher Skeete, Quebec’s Minister of International Relations, highlighted how this partnership is based on mutual respect and shared ambitions, asserting that Prevost’s accomplishments symbolize the province's manufacturing excellence.

The considerable trust established between Prevost and MTA reached new heights when in December 2023, Prevost unveiled its largest contract to date; a major order of 381 coaches, which included a firm order for 250 coaches set to be delivered between 2025 and 2026. This contract exemplifies the continued success and growth of Prevost’s footprint in the intercity transportation sector.

Prevost has been at the forefront of providing exceptional coach solutions for over a century, demonstrating unwavering dedication to quality, safety, and sustainability. As one of North America’s largest producers of premium intercity touring coaches, Prevost stands as a leader in high-end motorhome and specialty conversion coaches.

With manufacturing facilities based in Sainte-Claire, Quebec, Prevost also boasts the largest service network in the motorcoach industry, ensuring customer support through numerous service centers, mobile service vans, and a specialized customer support team with more than 260 years of industry experience.

As Prevost gears up to hit this monumental milestone, it resonates with the company’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable development in public transportation—a fitting tribute to the trust established with New York City and an exciting glimpse into the future of sustainable mobility across North America.
