Canada’s largest family-owned motorcoach carrier, Coach Atlantic Maritime Bus, has signed an agreement with Prevost to purchase 100 coaches over the coming years, a significant milestone during Prevost’s 100th anniversary year.
The deal came just a few days before the end of Prevost’s century year in 2024, emphasizing the historic milestone and the strong ties between the two companies.
The agreement solidifies the partnership between the Prince Edward Island-based operator and the Quebec-based manufacturer.
“This commitment illustrates and strengthens the relationship between us,” said François Tremblay, president of Prevost and Volvo Group Canada. “In addition to generating significant economic impact in our regions, this agreement rounds off a year of celebrations and growth. We are proud to count them among our customers.”
“For the last 100 years, Prevost has set the standard in the motorcoach industry for reliability, service, and innovation,” said Matthew Cassidy, president of Coach Atlantic Transportation Group. “This order not only reflects our commitment to Prevost but also assures our key customers that we will continue to grow with them and provide best-in-class equipment and service.”
The deal comes as Prevost celebrates a century of manufacturing intercity touring coaches and specialty conversion coaches. The company’s products are supported by the largest service network in North America, including OEM-operated service centers and mobile service vans.
Prevost, headquartered in Sainte-Claire, Quebec, is part of the Volvo Group, a global leader in commercial vehicles and services.
