RIVERSIDE, CA – Complete Coach Works (CCW), the nation’s leading provider of transit bus and sustainable transportation solutions, is excited to announce that they will be showcasing a fully refurbished model year 2008 Gillig low floor bus belonging to our partner, Core Transit of Colorado, at the upcoming American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Annual Transform Conference taking place this September in Anaheim, CA.
The bus is from Core Transit’s existing fleet and has undergone one of CCW’s signature refurbishment processes to extend the life of the bus beyond its original useful life. This refurbishment process is one of the most cost-effective fleet strategies available in today’s market and represents Core Transit’s commitment to provide a welcoming, accessible, dependable, and rewarding service.
The model year 2008 Gillig 40-ft was completely refurbished with the following major components installed in the bus:
- Refurbished Cummins ISM ReCon engine
- Rebuilt Allison B-500R
- USSC G2A series driver seat
- Reupholstered passenger seating with BusTextil fabric
- Upgraded Altro flooring
- Installation of an 8-camera video camera system by Apollo
- Installation of a new Thermo King Air conditioning system as the existing bus did not have any air conditioning
“This bus showcases our capabilities and shows how CCW can assist fleets extending the life of existing buses while new bus deliveries or zero emission plans are stalled or in process. The refurbishment process is a strategy that transit fleets need to employ to maximize their capital dollars as deliveries can occur in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost as compared with new bus deliveries. We are incredibly excited to present Core Transit’s bus at the APTA Transform Conference,” said Shah Remtulla, Regional Sales Representative of Complete Coach Works. “This is more than just a bus; it’s a symbol of our dedication to our customers and partnership we have with customers like Core Transit in Colorado. We invite everyone to come see how we can bridge the gap for your transportation needs.”
Visitors to the booth will be able to explore the bus, engage with CCW’s expert team, and learn about the refurbished processes that make these vehicles like-new. The APTA Transform Conference draws thousands of public transportation professionals from across the country. Complete Coach Works’ presence at this event underscores their leadership in the industry and their ongoing mission to provide top-tier refurbished vehicles that are both reliable and environmentally friendly.
At Core Transit, we believe every journey should be an empowering and gratifying experience. The bus on display at the APTA Transform Conference showcases our commitment to modern, rider-focused design, with upgraded seating, advanced technology, and a refreshed look that embodies our welcoming, accessible, dependable, and rewarding service. We’re proud to share this vision at the conference.”— Scott Robinson, Core Transit Deputy Director
