WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. — Croswell VIP Motorcoach Services has selected ENC to supply six 40-foot clean diesel AXESS transit buses to transport visitors at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky.
The buses will be operated by Croswell, based in Williamsburg, Ohio, as an official transportation provider for the Ark Encounter, a life-size replica of Noah’s Ark and one of Kentucky’s largest tourist attractions.
The order includes low-floor, ADA-compliant transit buses designed for high-volume shuttle service. ENC said the 40-foot AXESS buses are intended to provide durability, accessibility and passenger comfort.
“We are proud to earn Croswell’s business and to put ENC buses to work at one of the country’s most visited attractions,” said Jason Lee, chief executive officer of ENC. “This contract reflects the confidence private operators place in ENC’s durable, American-built vehicles and in the aftermarket support that stands behind every bus we deliver.”
Croswell has provided charter bus and tour services since 1921. Its fleet includes executive SUVs, sprinter vans and full-size premium motorcoaches serving corporate events, group travel, weddings, student tours and leisure travel. The company holds the highest safety rating from the U.S. Department of Transportation and is a member of the International Motorcoach Group.
“Our passengers expect a comfortable, dependable ride, and we expect the same from every vehicle we add to our fleet,” said John R. Croswell, vice president of operations for Croswell. “The ENC AXESS gives us the durability, accessibility, and capacity we need to serve visitors to the Ark Encounter, and ENC gave us confidence that the support will be there long after delivery.”
ENC manufactures heavy-duty transit buses in 30-, 32-, 33-, 35- and 40-foot configurations with propulsion options that include clean diesel, compressed natural gas, diesel-electric hybrid and battery-electric models. Its buses are built in Riverside, California, and the company says they meet federal Buy America requirements.
