RIVERSIDE, CA – Complete Coach Works (CCW), a leading provider of transit and sustainable transportation solutions, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to supply and refurbish eleven (11) 40-foot CNG transit buses for the City of Fresno’s Department of Transportation – Fresno Area Express (FAX). This project was awarded under the Washington State Contract, enabling FAX to streamline its procurement processes while ensuring value and quality from an experienced transit solutions provider.

The work will be completed at CCW’s headquarters in Riverside, California. The 2013 New Flyer C40LFR buses are currently equipped with ISLG CNG engines, Allison transmissions, and Thermo King HVAC systems. Each bus will undergo a full-service inspection designed to extend their operational life and bring them up to current standards.

The project will be a full bus refurbishment including undercarriage axle, brake and suspension components, powertrain replacement, HVAC refurbishment, upgraded interiors and a full exterior repainting.  There will also be significant electronics installations meeting FAX’s requirements for destination signs, CAD/AVL and security systems.

“We’re proud to support Fresno Area Express with this refurbishment project,” said James Carson, Regional Sales Manager at CCW. “This is a major project for FAX and CCW is the best partner to provide refurbished transit buses to enhance their service operations and fleet needs. By revitalizing these vehicles, we’re not only extending the life of valuable transit assets but also enhancing the rider and operator experience with modern features and systems.”
