Prevost Car

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prevost Car, a Quebec-based company, is a leading North American manufacturer of premium touring coaches and bus shells for high-end motorhomes and specialty conversions.

The company now owns Nova Bus and in turn is owned by Volvo Bus Corporation.

The company was first founded in 1924 by Eugene Prevost, a cabinet maker specializing in the production of church pews and school furniture, was asked to build a body for a brand new REO truck chassis. It all started from there and between 1937-1939 its first bus manufacturing plant was built. Initially the vehicles were built around a wooden frame but in 1945 this was changed so that the bodies were all made of metal.

The company has progressed to a stage where it now has 1,337 employees (February 2007) and operates six Parts and Service Centers located across North America.

The latest models saw the XLII thoroughly revised, now with a longer wheelbase to provide more storage and a smoother ride. This, along with many other changes, marked the beginning of the new X3-45.

The flagship H3-45 received some further enhancements in 2006 with GPS and a destination sign made an option. As well as this, the new Delta sound system was also developed to provide improved sound throughout the cabin.

For the new EPA 2007 Standards, Prevost now offers an innovative installation of the Diesel Particulate Filter and the Rooftop Diffuser for Increased Safety, Performance, Serviceability and Security.
